THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO, June 6, 2019 – Youth Fusion celebrated it’s second year in the NW region of Ontario, in partnership with Confederation College, Lakehead District School Board (LDSB), and the Matawa Learning Centre (MLC) on college campus with an afternoon demonstration and community barbeque. Acting Mayor Kristin Oliver and Confederation College President Kathleen Lynch welcomed the crowd of local youth, parents, and industry partners in support of Youth Fusion’s impact.
As part of the campaign Devenir entrepreneur propelled by the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, Desjardins Group and National Bank, Youth Fusion has created a major project called JEUNES D’AFFAIRES, to enable hundreds of young elementary and high school students to develop entrepreneurial projects in class and after school throughout the school year.
June 1, 2016, at the Bonsecours Market, the project culminated with a unique experience. Each team was facing scenarios replicating the challenges of a young business: communications, advertising, customer relations, financial management, business development and obviously… the unexpected ! They have also benefited from the valuable advice of the LNI Theatre to present their business with conviction in front of a renowned jury.
Congratulations to all the participants, felicitations to all the winners and thank you to our valued partners !

The young participants of the 2015-2016 Youth Fusion project in visual and digital arts as well as writing and music composition met last May 17, 2016, for a great day of creativity at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. In three hours, they created, in teams, musical, pictorial or digital artworks based on the theme: memory.
Again, we were blown away by their immense talent ! The jury – composed of Michel de la Chenelière, Jean-Luc Murray, Jason Cantoro and Matthew Van Vliet – did not have an easy task, having to choose the winners ! Congratulations again to all students and thank you for university students and teachers who have made these projects possible, as well as our partners: the Azrieli Foundation, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Simple Plan Foundation, Concordia University, University of Montreal, UQAM and Laval University !

CLIP est un projet de cinéma rassembleur, mettant au défi des jeunes des quatre coins de la province, autour de la thématique « le cinéma d’ici ». Depuis le mois de septembre, ils ont travaillé d’arrache-pied à l’écriture, la production et la réalisation de 30 courts-métrages de 3 minutes en lice le 12 mai 2016 dans le cadre du Gala CLIP de Fusion Jeunesse.
Bravo à tous les participants, félicitations à tous les lauréats et merci à nos partenaires : la Fondation Azrieli, Cineplex, la Fondation J.A. DeSève, la Ville de Montréal, le Gouvernement du Québec, l’Université Concordia, l’Université Laval, l’Université de Montréal, l’UQAM et l’UQAT.
Quatre jeunes de l’école Innalik d’Inukjuak (Nunavik) ont été récompensés pour leur court-métrage Una Unikkaavut en recevant le CLIP d’or. À la fois cri du cœur, ode à l’espoir et portrait intimiste à la mémoire de leur amie Sarah Patsauq, le film de Lucy Gailey Nappatuk, Bobby Idlout, Sarah Naqtai et Peter Nutaraluk montre une réalité difficile du Nunavik : le taux de suicide des jeunes Inuits — parmi les plus élevés dans le monde — est 11 fois plus élevé que la moyenne nationale. Leur message aura une portée bien plus grande que ce que les quatre cinéastes en herbe primés auraient pu imaginer : il sera diffusé au cours du mois d’août sur les écrans de plusieurs cinémas indépendants du Québec, dont le Cinéma du Parc, le Cinéma Beaubien, le Cinéma Pine, le Clap et la Maison du Cinéma, en première partie de tous les films présentés.
