The Northern Woodlands Ojibway Drum and Dance group will be in the SUCCI Lounge on Sept, 3, 2008 to help new and returning students celebrate FROSH WEEK at Confederation College. This will be a great opportunity for students to experience the Ojibway culture that surrounds our area of Thunder Bay. It also encourages students around the college to be more familiarized with OASA who works with SUCCI and the college to benefit Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal students. As well this event is a great way to start off the 2008-2009 school year. Families and friends are welcome to see what talents are presented from this Ojibway Drum and Dance Group; take the opportunity to experience something new during our annual FROSH week!
