Toronto Community Housing: Year of the Youth
Update: February 27; 2:15 PM —
Sorry, but I've just been told that this event today has been CANCELLED.
Feel free to speak to your local librarian about other youth oriented programs however!
2013 marks the Year of the Youth for Toronto Community Housing. What does this mean?
Toronto Community Housing would like to hear more from youth in housing and understand what issues affect them directly. In light of recent tragedies involving youth in TCHC neighbourhoods, the need to work together is more pressing than ever.
To further facilitate this, Toronto Community Housing CEO Eugene Jones Jr is meeting with youth today (Wednesday February 27) from 5 – 8:30 PM at 20 Gordonridge Place (that's near Midland/St. Clair Ave E).
Refreshments will also be available as youth get a chance to speak about what's happening in their communities and brainstorm ideas on how youth can work together and with TCHC representatives to empower and strengthen their neighbourhoods.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, be sure to call Larry Freedlander at 416-676-4149 to RSVP. You can also email him at larry.freedlander[at]torontohousing[dot]ca.
To learn more about other youth initiatives and resources, get in touch with some of the various youth service providers in the area like East Metro Youth Services and YouthLink . We also have youth workers in the Cedarbrae Branch at various times throughout the week; drop in to speak with them or find out more from a librarian.
