Congratulations to Lac Seul First Nation for hosting a successful Career Fair!
Every time I visit this community I am inspired by their leadership and vision, and from what I witnessed yesterday, hundreds of students from around the region (Kenora, Red Lake, Sioux Lookout, remote fly in Nations, etc.) were also inspired and empowered by this event. The sophistication was on par with a convention like the PDAC – every detail carefully planned and executed!
This is a prime example of how industry and communities can collaborate to foster mutual success. In a time where the region is experiencing and forecasting a continued skills shortage across multiple sectors, youth are a key demographic to attract and invest in.
I commend Lac Seul First Nation for taking the lead on valuable initiatives like the 2023 Career Fair, but most off, for their commitment to invest in elevating and empowering youth.
