| Purpose : |
The Northern Village of La Loche has collaborated with community stakeholders to replicate a Project Venture crime prevention project which will work with up to 300 high-risk Aboriginal children and youth, ages 11 to 14 years, and their families. Participants will be engaged in meaningful activities to prevent and reduce substance abuse, drug-related crime, and interpersonal violence.
La Loche Project Venture will include adaptations specific to indigenous cultural beliefs, traditions and values. The activities planned will address the identified risk factors and build upon existing protective factors within the community, which has abundant resources to support this comprehensive project.
