Introducing Roots: A Youth Leadership Workshop
The University College of the North (UCN) thanks the communities and schools who joined us for the first Roots Youth Leadership Workshop in May 2026. The enthusiasm and participation from students around Manitoba made this inaugural event a meaningful and inspiring experience for youth across northern Manitoba. This is just the beginning.
Stay tuned for future Roots workshops—we look forward to welcoming more students soon.
