(Angus Jourdain from Lac La Croix First Nation will be in Couchinching First Nation this month)
Three professional aboriginal performers will share the stage with a couple of local youth at an event at Couchiching First Nation later this month.
Mandi Olson of the United Native Friendship Centre says the Hometown Heroes concert will help showcase local talent.
"We just wanted to tie some of our younger youth and their performance with older adults just to show them that we support them," says Olson, "and that if they want to do a career in the industry it's possible."
Among those performing include comedian Ryan McMahon and musicians Angus Jourdain and Wab Kinew.
