CBC Quebec gives home to stories by Kahnawà:ke students

CBC Quebec is once again proud to support a partnership between Concordia University's journalism department and Kahnawà:ke Survival School (KSS), which aims to inspire Indigenous students to consider a career in media.

Spearheaded by Concordia journalism professor Kristy Snell, the initiative offers secondary five students the opportunity to be mentored by students in the university's journalism program. They work together to develop story ideas, interview subjects and write articles about people in their community.
