Strong Youth, Enriched Community-The Youth Commission/Youth Council

 

The Youth Council works under the umbrella of the Peterborough Youth Commission. The Youth Commission was created following the 2000 Municipal election. The Commission has been very successful over the past ten years in assisting to make our community more youth-friendly. The Youth Commission and the Youth Council are gearing up for another exciting year.
A few years ago, the Commission was successful in establishing free 30-day bus passes for youth volunteers, as well as recognizing youth who had made a difference in our community by awarding them the Mayor’s Youth Award. The Commission has provided support to several Community events throughout the year. The Youth Commission is chaired by Councilor Andrew Beamer.
