Contact North Expansion


Contact North is now providing distance education and training to teach more remote First Nations youth how to govern.

CEO Maxim Jean-Louis says an agreement with the National Centre for First Nations Governance, will bring workshops to additional communities.

"We we are doing today is really formalizing the work that we've been doing," says Jean-Louis, "so that we can really escalate and being able to help them extend those workshops, not only to those communities where they're offering them face-to-face, but to also offer them straight across northern communities where they can use the technology to increase access."

Jean-Louis says the program has the potential to go nationwide.
