The Tłı̨chǫ Government Department of Health Promotion is hosting a healthy snack workshop for youth in Behchokǫ̀, Northwest Territories, on Friday, March 13, 2026. The event focuses on teaching young people how to make better nutritional choices in their daily lives.
The “Build Your Own Smoothie & Smart Snack Hacks” workshop runs from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Culture Centre. The session is designed specifically for local youth between the ages of 9 and 16.
