Young Women's Conference

More than fifty young women from the Rainy River district will gather this weekend at Luther Village near Kenora.

Jenna Baker, vice-principal at J.W. Walker School says girls in grades 7 to 12 will participate in the annual Young Women's Conference.

"The ultimate goal of the conference is to support young women with information and a positive view for a hopeful future," says Baker. "The conference itself provides information on the indicators of violence against young women and ways to support themselves and others in the future at the school level as well as in the community."

This is the conference's eleventh year.
