Welcome to the Youth Engagement page! As part of the Nanaimo Youth Resilience Strategy, with Building Safer Communities (BSC) Funds, we have created this calendar list of activities and events available for youth! These activities are designed to offer safe and creative spaces, to build skills, connect with each other and in the community and of course to have fun!

For more information about the Youth Resiliency Strategy, please visit: Nanaimo Youth Resilience Strategy
