2009 AYL Final Report

October 22, 2009

This year's expedition, the 6th successful journey on the Horton River, had a different look and feel. Ten youth, four Inuvialuit and six Inuit, participated in the first fully integrated AYL expedition. After three years of effective collaboration in providing separate expeditions for their youth, IDC and Nunasi Corporation saw real value in integrating the two groups. The fully integrated program offered an opportunity for cultural exchange, added diversity to the leadership training, and enabled Inuvialuit and Inuit youth to work together in developing effective solutions for a mutual challenge.

The Final Report summarizes the activities of the AYL program for 2009, and highlights the achievements and successes that this years' participants experienced while on the program.
