Youth Week April 28th

Hey All!

Youth week is in full swing! The agenda for April 28th starts of with the exciting Media release of the Youth Vital Signs survey! For those of you who’ve been following cyfc for a while, you’d know that a few months back we, in partnership with the Calgary Foundation, hosted a Youth Vital signs survey which allows youth like you to grade the city of Calgary in 12 areas. This gave youth the opportunity to voice their concerns about waiting for hours in the cold blizzarding snow for the bus to come during those dark winter months, the recreation and art facilities that the city offered and it even allowed youth comment on the cultural identities and communities in Calgary. And now that we have all the stats in, its time to release the results to the public! So come join us at 10:00 am today at Crescent Heights High School (1019 1st S.W.) for some fun and chill out with the media!

But if a survey is not enough for you to voice your ideas and express your creative mind, then come on down to the Youth Slam open mic! It’s happening as part of the Calgary International Spoken Word Competition and youth are welcomed to compete for a spot on the main stage on at LiveStyle . The event starts at 7:00 pm at EPCOR center and tickets are $5.00 each. So come on down and unleash those words!
