Youth Commission meetings are open to the community and youth are encouraged to attend and share their ideas.

The Youth Commission is resuming its important community work following a pause due to the pandemic. The Commission is made up of non-profit service providers working to assist local youth along with interested community members and youth representatives.

“The City of Peterborough’s Youth Commission is gearing up to re-ignite our mutual goals of re-engaging youth for another exciting year. Our addictive use of electronic devices and social media plus the pandemic have affected how we interact with each other, especially for our youthful citizens,” said Councillor Lesley Parnell, chair of the Youth Commission. “The Youth Commission is a way for youth to engage with our community and for our community to engage with the youth who contribute so much to who we are as a City.”

The Peterborough Youth Commission was created following the 2000 municipal election. The Commission has been very successful over the years helping to make the community more youth friendly.
