National Youth Week
Celebrate National Youth Week with free events!
National Youth Week runs May 1 to 7 each year and is dedicated to the celebration of youth and their active participation in their community. National Youth Week is not a program, but rather a movement. It is driven by what happens in local communities across Canada. Free for youth 10 -19 years old.
For further information, please email or contact Ellen Stewart 705 742-7777 ext. 1805.
Follow us on Downtown Youth Space Facebook for National Youth Week updates.
