A group of police officers and community members are gathering this week in Couchiching First Nation to learn about a new educational program for youth.
Walking the Path focuses on teaching native and non-native students about the history, beliefs and traditions of Aboriginal People.
Carol Clarke of the OPP's Aboriginal Policing Bureau says they seeing success in area's that now have the program.
"Once it comes into an area, people just snowball, they want it everywhere because it's so fun," says Clarke. "The kids love it. The community loves it. The schools love it. It's self-empowering for these kids to learn about their culture."
Clarke says they're working to spread the program across the province.
