Check out these photos of young people participating in a community build event with the Skills Ontario First Nations, Metis & Inuit Program!

Today, school aged youth built garden boxes while learning the carpentry trade, including learning about career pathways and opportunities to join the Carpenters Union.
Following the build, youth planted lettuce in these garden boxes to also learn about careers in landscaping and horticulture from Premier Landscaping. Some of the garden boxes put together today will be donated to Ojibway Park!

Thank you to Premier Landscaping, the Carpenters Union, and Garden River First Nation Education Department, & Skilled Trades Ontario for supporting this event.
