YOUTH ADVISORY BOARD

The City of Pointe-Claire's Youth Advisory Board is mandated to make recommendations and give young citizens a voice to improve the activities and services intended for them. In 2023, a fifth cohort of committed and dynamic young people will take up their mandate. Exceptionally, this mandate will have a term of 20 months, since the board’s schedule is in a transition year. During 2022, youth board members submitted recommendations to the Culture, Sports, Leisure and Community Development Department to improve the offer for young people at the Olive-Urquhart Sports Centre. They actively participated in the City’s strategic planning process and were consulted as part of the STM’s public consultation work on public transit in the West Island. The board members met several department employees to better understand their different mandates and ongoing projects. In addition, they visited the many municipal facilities to develop an understanding of the locations and equipment available for activities and services. We thank the outgoing members of the Youth Advisory Board for their great involvement and their desire to contribute to their community.
