When was the conference?
ACTIVATE North took place from March 24-28, 2010, in Yellowknife.
Twenty-five Aboriginal youth aged 16 to 24 from Nunavut, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories took part in the week-long leadership and community development conference.
What is ACTIVATE North?
ACTIVATE North engages Aboriginal youth in creating positive change in their communities. It also explores the need for youth-driven development and helps young people develop relationships, support, tools, and plans that they need in order to gain meaningful experience and make some positive changes in their communities.
What was the objective?
The goal of ACTIVATE North is to provide First Nation, Inuit and Métis youth from the territories with a forum to voice their ideas and opinions in a safe youth friendly environment while providing them with the skills and resources to contribute to their communities in a meaningful way through sport and physical activity as ACTIVATORS.
