Outside of National Youth Week, the City hosts events and programs at the youth centre at the Peggy Hill Team Community Centre, and at the Lampman Lane Community Centre on an ongoing basis, offering individuals aged 11–17 in Barrie opportunities for creative development, exploration, personal growth and play. For information about youth programs at the City, visit barrie.ca/YouthRecPrograms.
National Youth Week starts May 1, and runs until National Child and Youth Mental Health Day on May 7. During this week, communities recognize and celebrate youth and their positive contributions to the community.
Whether it is recreation, drama, sport, dance, civic engagement, art, volunteerism or leadership, young people are involved in meaningful activities, every day. National Youth Week is a time to honour their involvement!
