A group of Fort Frances High School students will know later today how well they were able to push their business-case for a new funeral home with an aboriginal focus.

They're among 200 aboriginal students involved in a business-planning competition sponsored by the Business Development Bank of Canada in Ottawa.

Steven Mitchell says it's been positive experience.

"The Ottawa University has just been great," says Mitchell. "We presented our board at one of the halls and today we're presenting our power point presentation with all of our financials in one of the university classrooms."

Mitchell is joined by Ryan Strachan, Max Calder and teacher Gary Medicine at the event.
