We are so excited for the next step in our Telus Grant project! On Monday, we will be meeting at PELC to review all the data collected in the hackathons, find trends, and discuss what we find to be priorities moving forward, and start co-creating our digital campaign!

You do not need to have attended a hackathon or previous event to jump into the project with us at this point, all are welcome!

We will meet Monday June 1st at 4pm at Prince Edward Learning Centre! We will have light snacks, gift cards, and can help arrange transportation if needed.

Join us in person on May 21st for the PEC Adult Ally Training! Delivered by the Students Commission of Canada through their national Hearing Unheard Moments project.

Open to all local service providers, municipal staff, and residents of the community, this training will help anyone gain practical skills and knowledge to be positive adult allies in the community.
This workshop explores what it means to be an effective adult ally to youth by grounding participants in shared community guidelines, the SCC’s 4 Pillars™, and core principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Participants will examine safer spaces, accountability, and responsibilities, while learning how vulnerability, trust, and power show up in youth–adult relationships. Using interactive activities and practical frameworks, the workshop introduces youth engagement models, and protective factors that help youth thrive.

Attendees will build concrete skills in active listening, reflection, and facilitation, clarify boundaries and roles between adults and youth, and explore the structural layers of youth programs to better support meaningful, affirming, and developmentally responsive engagement. Don't miss out on this fun and informative event!
