🎉 Cheers to an Incredible Career! 🎉

After more than four decades of making a difference, John Johnston is officially stepping into retirement—what an amazing milestone! 🌟

For 43 years, John has been at the heart of creating opportunities, building connections, and supporting young people and families across our community. His passion, leadership, and genuine care have left a lasting mark that won’t soon be forgotten. 💙

While we’ll miss his energy and dedication, we couldn’t be happier for him as he begins this exciting new chapter filled with well-earned relaxation, adventures, and quality time with loved ones. ✈️🌴

👏 Join us in celebrating John and his incredible journey!

🎉 Throwback Thursday! 🎉
Rolling back to July 1985, when our parade floats were packed with balloons, big smiles, and even bigger Youth HQ spirit 🚚✨

From the early days of the Youth & Volunteer Centre to today’s Youth HQ, one thing hasn’t changed — our commitment to kids, families, and community.

Here’s to 50 years of showing up, standing out, and celebrating together 💛
