Mayor's Youth Town Hall - "The Sequel"

The Mayor's Youth Advisory Committee (MYAC) will be holding a Mayor's Youth Town Hall - "The Sequel" at Devonshire Mall in the Bay Court Area. This time, the town hall will focus on hot topic issues that were brought forward at last year's event. The event will brainstorm with youth on solutions to these issues and recommendations that can be made to City Council. Topics include but not limited to: Youth Venue/Facility, Youth Employment, Environment, Race and Ethocultural Relations and Transit Windsor. MYAC is inviting all youth in the City of Windsor to jot down ideas, give suggestions and attend the event. This is the time for Windsor Youth to speak up and speak out to our Municipal government.
