Singer Promotes Native Teachings


A northwestern Ontario musician is using her music help promote native teachings and healthy lifestyles to young people.

Shy-Anne Horvorka is in Fort Frances as part of a aboriginal music tour.

"I think a lot of youth thing that in the music business you have to sing about drugs, alcohol and partying to be successful," says Horvorka. "We want to show them you can be successful without singing about that. You can have a positive swing to your message."

Tonight, she's holding a search for youth to participate in a mentorship program through music and art with auditions taking place at the Townsend Theater.
