It takes place at the Steady Brook ski resort September 29th to October 1st and applications are now open. Major sponsors include the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Wildlife Habitat Canada and Friends of Salmonier Nature Park. Women and Gender Equality Minister Pam Parsons says it’s an amazing program that has been happening since 1997.

Parsons says 2,000 women have completed the program so far.
