Tragedy in Thunder Bay has resulted in a new regional program to support First Nations Youth.
The Prevent Alcohol and Risk-Related Trauma in Youth or PARTY program has been expanded to communities across northwestern Ontario. It’s making a major difference in the Lakehead and in Dryden, with the support of OPP Constable Michelle Teeple.
