Sylvan Lake's MSP Youth Forum


Sylvan Lake has just completed their Youth Forum regarding youth input into the town's upcoming Municipal Sustainability Plan. The Sylvan Lake ACE committee also used the forum to tap into what the youth think about in terms of a potential ACE initiative in their community.

The youth who attended the forum expressed a need for items like: better transportation, an embracing of their lake culture, mentorship opportunities, multi-cultural events, and more youth engagement in the realm of arts, culture, and recreation.

They also expressed pride in their activities to promote an active and healthy approach to maintaining the Lake through greener activities and advocacy. Great work, Sylvan Lake! We are excited to see what your youth leaders will accomplish.
