Starting this past weekend, 31 students from northern Saskatchewan high schools were to travel to Regina to participate in the 2013 Youth Mentorship Program. These students from Buffalo Narrows, Cumberland House, La Ronge, Montreal Lake, Pinehouse Lake and Stanley Mission had the opportunity to learn about Saskatchewan's provincial government and its history. 'It's great to see so many students interested in this program,' said Minister responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Kevin Doherty. Today, these students get a chance to see some of the educational and training opportunities that exist in their capital. They are scheduled to tour the University of Regina, the First Nations University of Canada, Government House and the RCMP Training Academy. Tomorrow, they will spend the day learning about some of the opportunities that exist in the public service and about government and the legislative process. They will also have an opportunity to tour the Royal Saskatchewan Museum. Students will meet the Lieutenant Governor, the Speaker, Ministers, their MLAs and public servants. They will tour the Legislative Building and be introduced in the Legislative Assembly with an opportunity to attend Question Period. The Youth Mentorship Program is hosted by the Provincial Capital Commission with sponsorship through the Ministry of Education and the Government House Foundation. _ Compiled from a Government of Saskatchewan news release
