It is an eleven module program, initially delivered to students in grades 5 & 6. In Yukon, the first roll-out of this program will be at Elijah Smith Elementary School, starting later this winter.

The TKC Facilitators will work in conjunction with 3 facilitators from Kwanlin Dun First Nation.

This will be followed by delivery of the 11 modules before end of May, with an hour budgeted for each module. An Honorarium will be provided for this role.

Interested Citizens who can provide the required security clearance are encouraged to contact Katelyn Friendship, Executive Assistant at executiveassist@taan.ca or by phone at 668-3613. A quick reply by end of day February 4th is required.
