McGuinty Government And Right To Play Creating Opportunities For Aboriginal Youth

Ontario is helping more than 1,000 Aboriginal children and youth develop leadership skills to strengthen our future workforce, with support from partners.
The Promoting Life-skills in Aboriginal Youth (PLAY) program has expanded to 39 First Nation communities across the province. PLAY is designed to develop young leaders within the community and empower them to create positive change.
The program has created more than 30 full-time jobs for community mentors who work with Aboriginal youth to take part in training workshops, plan community events and participate in sports. Fifty jobs have also been created for Aboriginal youth to work with community mentors to deliver programs.
Creating more opportunities for youth to succeed is part of the McGuinty government’s plan to support families, create new jobs and build a brighter future for all Ontarians.
