RCMP Youth Academy

32 young men and women from around northern BC attended a week long training academy at Kelly Road School during their spring break.  These young students, ages 16 to 18 years old, were accommodated, fed and trained at Kelly Road for the entire week.  Part of their training was the usual "Drill Team" required by the RCMP as part of their regular Boot Camp.

17 of these young people are Prince George residents.  The remainder come from other communities in the north.  These young people took the training in earnest and it is hoped that many of them will pursue a career in Policing as a result of this Youth Academy.

The Nechako Rotary Club provided $2500.00 sponsor ship to this program.  Additional sponsorship was provided by Integris Credit Union, The Yellowhead Rotary Club, School District 57 and Just Good Food.
