Challenges I faced growing up in a Northern First Nations Community: The Ballantyne Project with Dwight Ballantyne

In this session, Dwight Ballantyne will be sharing his personal journey growing up in a remote northern First Nation and how those experiences shaped the work he do today. Dwight will talk about the real-life challenges Indigenous youth face in remote communities—challenges most people don’t even know exist. Dwight will also talk about The Ballantyne Project and our #WeSeeYou campaign, which creates opportunities for Indigenous youth to gain life skills, explore education and career paths, and build confidence through week-long experiences in Vancouver, BC
