Youth

Many programs are for pre-teens and youth aged 10- 24 and are available to help youth explore their identity as well as their place in their community. At a neighbourhood house you can make new friends, grow your leadership skills, find support and eat good food! All are welcome!offered in multiple languages and include culturally responsive spaces, including dedicated gathering spaces for Indigenous families.

Programs and registration vary by location.
