THUNDER BAY - Tony Mcguire from They Media, Kateri Skaarup the COO of Skaarup Construction and Derek Fox a Lawyer were the special youth leaders at the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce Aboriginal Partnership Exchange in Thunder Bay in June 2015.

The trio of engaging youth leaders stopped by the NetNewsLedger studio for a discussion of issues, and a strong message for young people of all ages.
