Healing Our Relations to Water
For the past few years, the NWT Water Stewardship Strategy has supported Ecology North and other water partners to host an annual youth water stewardship gathering.
The 2024 Water Stewardship Gathering was hosted by Ecology North in partnership with Northern Youth Leadership, Treaty Talks NWT, North Slave Métis Alliance, Western Arctic Youth Collective, the Government of the Northwest Territories, and the Foster Family Coalition NWT. The February 2024 gathering lasted four days at the Camp Connections Facility outside of Yellowknife, NT.
