Journal: Under the Sun: News from the Primate's World Relief and Development Fund

Notes: "Engaging and Empowering Youth" issue.; In March 2019 members of the PWRDF Youth Council visited the "Nuu-Chah-Nulth territory of western Vancouver Island home to 14 separate Nuu-Chah-Nulth First Nations. For many years, NEDC [Nuu-Chah-Nulth Economic Development] has provided expertise and financial support to small businesses within these nations, helping spur local economic development. Thanks to a partnership with PWRDF they also recently strengthened their focus on youth entrepreneurship via the Indigenous Youth Business program". "Over our two-day visit, PWRDF Youth Council members met with NEDC staff to learn about their vision for the program and see first-hand the impact of PWRDF partnerships, whether across the globe or here in Canada".
