“HURRY HARD! Sweep those winter blues away with a fun night of curling. Whether it’s your first time on the ice or you’re a seasoned sweeper this tournament is a great way to try a national pastime. Draw, peel, and roll your way out to this cool night of fun!”
All teammates need to arrive 20 minutes early to check-in and the cost is only $10.00! If you have ever watched curling and thought “I could do that” then come out and show your skills!
Aboriginal youth are dramatically under-represented in post-secondary education, particularly the health sciences, which represent some of the fastest growing career tracks in North America. Aboriginal eMentoring BC is a new online mentoring program that was launched in November 2011. The goal of the program is to implement an online mentoring intervention for Aboriginal youth and help them graduate from high school and transition into post-secondary health education programs. Using the Internet, eMentoring will connect youth with role models who will provide them with the support, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed in university.
One hundred mentor-mentee relationships will be established, developed and maintained in collaboration with www.icouldbe.org, an established eMentoring platform. Mentors will include post-secondary students and mentees will include urban and rural Aboriginal youth across British Columbia in grades 6-12. Mentor-mentee relationships will last a minimum of one year, and consist of semi-structured online discussions/activities.
We are currently recruiting mentors for the program and the deadline to apply is January 16, 2012. If you are interested in being a mentor, please fill out the attached application form. For more information about the project, please visit www.eMentoringbc.com.
