National Youth Week is a movement that celebrates youth and their active participation in their community. 

Free events for youth 10 to 19 years of age will be hosted at the Peterborough Museum and Archives, Peterborough Public Library, Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre and Downtown Youth Space. 

The exciting schedule is the result of collaboration with the New Canadian Centre, Artspace and City program areas. The Peterborough Youth Council played an important part organizing some of the events. 

“The pandemic and extensive use of electronics in our daily lives have had a dramatic impact on our face-to-face social interactions, physical activity, and mental health. Please join in all the fun that National Youth Week has to offer. Meet new friends, try new healthy activities, get involved in your community,” said Councillor Lesley Parnell, Chair of the City’s Youth Commission.
