Seabird Island Band (SIB) will be hosting the first annual Stó:lō Youth Entrepreneurship Initiative Conference (SYEIC), this fall on Saturday, November 20th, 2021, at Seabird Island.

This conference will include over 100 in-school Stó:lō youth (ages 16 to 24) who are interested to learn more about strategic areas of business, entrepreneurship, and finance, thus enabling them to contribute to the future of their community's socio-economic development and well-being.

It’s a unique opportunity for Stó:lō youth to understand better their current and future role in the local, regional and provincial economy and be more aware of the importance of completing high school and pursuing post-secondary studies.

Tickets are $ 125.00 each, but the first 10 people to complete a reigstration form and drop it off to Diana at the Cheam Health Department Reception desk will be sponsored by Seabird Island and Cheam and will get to attend this fantastic event for free!

If you’re a Stó:lō youth (16-24) with an interest in entrepreneurship, finance and business and want to learn business strategy, this event is for you! Don’t delay- get your registration in asap!
