The first ever Aboriginal Trades and Employment Symposium is being described as a success.
The one day event was held in Dryden and attracted aboriginal students from across the region.
There were displays by 15 different trade unions across Northwestern Ontario, as well as educational opportunities.
Coordinator Bob Bruyere says it was a great opportunity to see what's out there.
Bruyere says the symposium also encourages those who haven't, to get their grade 12 diploma.
