Spirit Seekers Youth Conference begins Friday

The 19th annual Spirit Seekers Youth Conference gets underway Friday in Grande Prairie.

Spokesperson Delaine Lambert English says the goal is to inspire youth, both indigenous and non-indigenous.

“Another goal of the conference is to give youth the opportunity network, be proud of who they are.”

She says among the events there will be one involving Walking with our Sisters. “Two of the lead beaders are going to be organizing an art workshop where they can make different forms of art, I think there is beading and painting on a canvas so these will make the memorial art piece that will be on display during Walking with our Sisters in June.”
