Today, FPAC and the CCFM, were proud to present the Skills Awards for Aboriginal Youth at the Conference Board of Canada’s National Summit on Indigenous Youth and Natural Resource Development in Calgary. The two recipients of the award are Isabelle Males of Temiskaming First Nation from New Liskeard, Ontario, and Tristan Flood of Matachewan First Nation from North Bay, Ontario. “Congratulations” said the Honourable Margaret Miller, Minister of Natural Resources for Nova Scotia, and chair of the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers. “Both winners have shown strong commitment to their communities, an impressive interest in their fields of study, and should look forward to rewarding careers in Canada’s innovative forest sector.” …”Ms. Males and Mr. Flood are both exceptional youth working to improve and support their communities and the forest sector,” says Derek Nighbor, CEO of FPAC.
