Youth 2 Youth 2019

The Nottawasaga OPP Community Mobilization and Engagement Unit partner
with local community social services to host two youth events annually. The “Youth
2 Youth” is held each spring. The event focuses on connecting grade 8 students
from the 19 local elementary schools to local social services available for support
and their peers that will be entering High School with them. They are led through an
interactive day by Youth Leaders from each of the High Schools. In the fall of 2019,
the 2nd annual Youth Symposium was held at Nottawasaga Pines High School. This
family event targets youth from grade 6 to grade 12 and their parents. This event
helps educate on top issues amongst youth and our community and helps parents start
difficult conversations surrounding drug use, mental health and resilience. We are
excited for our next events scheduled in 2020.
