Join the AILES Indigenous Youth Delegation

The future of energy needs youth voices! Nominate yourself or a youth leader to join the Indigenous Youth Delegation at AILES 2026.  

Creating Space for Indigenous Youth

The AILES Indigenous Youth Delegation creates space for Indigenous youth ages 18–30 from across Atlantic Canada to take part in conversations about the future of energy. It is a chance to share your voice, connect with others, build confidence, and explore energy pathways for the next seven generations.

Delegates will have an opportunity to take part in:

  • Youth panel discussions
  • Career-building sessions
  • Cultural workshops
  • Networking opportunities

When I was growing up, I didn't see people like me in these positions and that made me really wonder, ‘Where do I belong?’
