Recreation & Youth Engagement

Our town has beautiful facilities that provide a wide range of programs. A demographic I see as underserved is our youth and young adult populations. 

I would like to see an expansion of programs to serve children and youth who have few options outside of school besides participating in expensive organized sports. This works not only to lighten the load on overburdened parents, but also as a way of keeping children and youth happy and engaged as community members. This is an important factor in mitigating antisocial behaviour and the use of dangerous substances.
