Eight young people are on their way to Mexico this month as part of a work experience program supported by Oteenaw Employment and Training Society, the Metis Nation of Alberta and Canada World Youth. There they will gain practical work experience, share cultural values and obtain leadership skills. Alberta Sweetgrass asked seven of the travelers what they were, as individuals, hoping to gain from the experience. Missing from the group was Courtney Patenaude of East Prairie.
