This is a wellness initiative our Youth Council is excited to begin. At the end of each month, we will share a Youth Spotlight to lift up our children and youth, honouring their spirits, their efforts, and the many ways they shine. Whether through sports, learning, creativity, or caring for community, we celebrate them 🤍

Their light is our future ✨🪶

(We will be spotlighting one youth per month, so if your child isn’t featured right away, don’t worry their time will come! Chii- Miigwetch😊)

🌟 Taykwa Tagamou Youth Update 🌟

Hi everyone! I’m currently in the process of rebuilding and reframing our Youth Council to make sure it truly reflects the voices, needs, and strengths of our TTN youth.

I want to thank everyone for your patience and support as I work through this process. It’s important to me that we build something meaningful, inclusive, and grounded in our community’s values.

Once everything is in place, I’ll be making an official announcement about when we’ll be opening up Youth Council membership for those interested in joining.

I’m excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to share more soon. ✨
Miigwetch!
