Lucknow woman looking to be part of mentorship program

A Lucknow woman is into the semi-finals of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association Cattlemen’s Young Leaders Mentorship Program.

Nicole Nunn is one of the 24 semi-finalists.

The CYL Program offers young people ages 18-35 from across Canada the opportunity to be paired with a beef industry leader in their specific area of interest for a nine-month mentorship.

They're also granted a $2,000 budget to fund various learning opportunities and their participation in industry events of their choice.

Nunn is one of the three people from Ontario. The remainder of the 24 are from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador.

The selection competition will be held in the coming weeks in which 16 will go on to be paired with an industry mentor.
