Conference also included events such as Dene Games and Handgame Tournament for the participants on Saturday and Sunday.
This is the 6th year the Community Action Research Team (CART) has organized this conference. CART was created in 2009 guided by an Advisory Committee to develop social and wellness programs based on qualitative and quantitative for youth, elders, and community members in the Tlicho region.
CART would like to thank all the Chaperones, Cooks, and Facilitators for their help, and Chief Jimmy Bruneau Regional High School for the use of school space.
