Today marks the first day of National Youth Week. It is a week dedicated to the celebration of youth and their active participation in our community.
Whether it is recreation, drama, sport, dance, civic engagement, art, volunteerism or leadership, young people participate in activities that contribute to the development of life skills.
For the second year, Public Health is co-hosting a movie event with the Guelph Youth Council at the Bookshelf Cinema. Join us on Monday May 7 at 6 p.m. to watch Pitch Perfect 3. Admission and snacks are free. Check out the event on Facebook. We hope to see you there!
Check out the schedules below for more activities in Guelph and Minto.
