The Tłı̨chǫ Government is offering healthy cooking and craft classes for families in Behchokǫ̀, Northwest Territories. These sessions will take place on February 27, 2026, at the Charlie Charlo Center. The program is designed for parents, caregivers, and grandparents with children aged six and under.

Participants will learn food-preparation skills and take part in family wellness activities. The sessions also provide free healthy snacks for all who attend. These classes aim to help local caregivers find support and build practical skills for raising young children.

The Tłı̨chǫ Community Services Agency manages these health and social programs under a long-standing community agreement. This month, the program highlights the Tłı̨chǫ word Neghǫnı̀ehtǫ, which translates to love. This focus combines cultural values with modern health services to support families.

The Charlie Charlo Center serves as a central hub for these community gatherings and health training events. This initiative is part of a broader effort to provide early childhood support across the region. Families can visit the center to participate in these ongoing wellness sessions.
