Building self-confidence among young women is one of the objectives of a gathering this weekend in Sioux Narrows.
About 60 girls from across the Rainy River district in grades 7 to 12 will be participate in the annual Young Women's Conference's coordinated by the area's school boards.
Dana Kosowich, one of the teachers involved, says the event has proved to be successful.
"It really does build that self-confidence with the girls," says Kosowich. "They have a great time. It's really interesting to see their growth over the weekend and just how excited they are. They start out really quiet and then just come into their own and get a lot out of the conference.
The event includes a variety of workshops and presentations.
