Activate NT, Participant Spotlight

Across the Northwest Territories, young people are turning their ideas into action through recreation projects that bring people together, support well-being, and strengthen their communities. With creativity, commitment, and local knowledge, Activate NT participants are creating new opportunities for people of all ages to connect, participate, and belong.

Through this participant spotlight series, we are proud to celebrate the young people behind these projects - their ideas, their leadership and the difference they are making. We're excited to begin by introducing the a participant and sharing their story.

Abby Webster from Sǫ̀mba K’è/Yellowknife took part in hosting the "Sweethearts on Ice Female Camp" which offered a safe and inclusive event where U15 and U18 female hockey players could develop their skills on and off the ice while creating lasting memories together. In collaboration with four others, Abby helped bring more than 120 players together for this all-female camp!
