Ministers' Statement 7-12(1): Youth Initiatives Program December 9th, 1991

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the youth initiatives program provides support directly to young people on issues related to the concerns of alcohol and drug prevention and intervention. I am pleased to announce that through this program there will be a booth for the youth initiatives program at the community-based Careers and Trades Occupation Fair being held tomorrow, Wednesday, December 11, 1991, at the Explorer Hotel in the Katimavik Rooms.

The student council of Akaitcho Hall, in conjunction with students attending school in Yellowknife from the various regions, have been working together setting up the display booth for this event. A poster and a booklet entitled "A Guide to Programs and Services for Young People in the Northwest Territories" will be distributed at this fair. The Department of Social Services is pleased to assist the youth of the Northwest Territories to participate in drug-free, fun-filled events.

I encourage my colleagues, my constituency members and everyone else to take part in this career fair and to stop by their booth, thereby showing support for their worthwhile venture. Thank you.
