Calling all area youth: community agencies want to hear your ideas on how to make Sault Ste. Marie a better place to live, learn, work and play.

Youth, ages 11 to 29, along with adult allies, can register for the forum at https://eventbrite.ca/event/15846435114/.

At the 2015 youth forum, participants will engage in dialogue on a number of topics, including leadership, entrepreneurship, entertainment and communication. Adult allies, from various groups throughout the community, will also be in attendance to learn how they can better provide services and activities for area youth.

“I’m excited to be participating in this year’s youth forum,” said Mayor Christian Provenzano. “I feel that there has been meaningful progress made on many of the issues identified last year. I’m looking forward to continuing the discussion with local youths about what is important to them and about what they to want to see in our community.”
