Inspiring Young Women Update

The Inspiring Young Women Group of Postville, Nunatsiavut is slowing down for the summer months.

The group was co-founded by Cora Edmunds with Donna Stokes Lane.

She says the group organizes closing events in June annually, just before the school year ends.

Ms. Edmunds says the activities this year are delayed because of the recent tragedy in Happy Valley Goose Bay.

But, she says, hopefully, the events would take place next week if people are in town.

The group plans for different activities like scrap booking and recognition of Grade 12 achievements and gifts.

She says there are seven leaders in the group of fourteen girls, as well as six adult leaders.

Inspiring Young Women started in 2004 because the school thought the male population dominated young ladies, so the group was started to encourage them to put a stop to bullying tactics, build career choices, put a stop to violence. alcohol & drugs and build better relationship amongst the young people.

Ms. Edmunds says that these kinds of things seems to build more understanding as to how to be a better person.

The leaders takes turns coordinating activities and Schedules are set to last from September to December and from December to June each year.
