Please note that during lunch at the April 23rd, 2017 Youth Conference, the organizing committee was questioned by our guest participants on the funding model we had in place. Upon learning that we have never secured complete funding, the agency representatives indicated they would write letters of endorsement to help us secure funding possibly through Federal Government grants. With the encouragement and assistance of the Romeo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative Executive Director, Dr. Shelly Whitman, we did apply for a grant with Public Safety Canada, but were informed that our educational project did not fit in within their purview.
