The Department of Health and Social Development in Nain will be holding a wooding program next week.
We spoke with Rutie Lampe, the Mental Health and Addictions worker.
She says depending on the weather, they’re planning to go on Tuesday, January 24 of this year.
So far, there are three youth interested and two guides, but they can take two or three more participants, depending how much space are available as there are limited seats.
The location will be determined by the guides, but by the ice, they’re assuming they’re going up to Saltwater Pond.
Lampe added that she’s excited to start up the program knowing that there are elders and people in the community who can’t have access to wood.
