Roots4Change Youth Gathering

Calling Edmonton Youth! Please join us for a get together and dinner on November 24th, 4:30 PM at the Buchanan Centre

The Roots 4 Change team invites you to join us on November 24th 4:30 to 8:00PM for dinner and an evening of creativity to strengthen calls to action on youth rights and communicate what needs to change to the City of Edmonton. We will be collaging and button making!

The Roots4Change team looked at the state of youth rights in the city of Edmonton in 2020 - 2021 and unveiled important gaps in access to recreational activities; discrimination in public spaces; the lack of comprehensive sexual health education; and the fact that young people do not feel represented at any level of government.

We will release the final report to the Edmonton City Council and all other levels of government in the City at the end of Fall 2022 and aim to get youth feedback on a report meant to represent them. Let’s join around dinner to have a conversation and strengthen our proposed calls to action.

We are able to offer this gathering and dinner thanks to the Telus Friendly Future Foundation.

Please Register via Eventbrite or email info@jhcentre.org to RSVP

Dinner will be provided and we are happy to make any accommodations, please let us know of any allergies or accommodations you might need!
