The Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation has requested $1M from the Northwest Territories for a new trades program, CBC has learned. “Our plan is to focus on one trade at a time, to gain more employment opportunities for our people,” said Lutsel K’e Dene Chief Darryl Boucher-Marlowe. “Where we come from, an isolated community, there's not a lot of resources where we can access trades programs.” Boucher-Marlowe told CBC that the school would begin by offering carpentry, with programs in mechanics, electrical, plumbing, and welding to follow.
