Northern Development
Councils Youth
NDCs Recommend Ways to
Create Opportunities for Youth in North
Ontario’s
Northern Development Councils undertook a
Northern Dialogue on creating opportunities for Youth as one of their
first
major tasks. After extensive discussions with people across Northern
Ontario,
the NDCs submitted 16 recommendations that reflect the priorities and
values of
northern communities.
Their recommendation # 1 is:
- Provide
support including capital funding and staffing for community youth
centres that partner to support youth by:
A) Being a focal point for programs and activities including cultural,
leadership, leisure and recreation;
B) Providing for training and employment opportunities for youth;
C) Providing an environment to bring forward a “youth” voice; and D)
Demonstrating and helping communities become “youth friendly”.

Roots of Youth Violence
Link to the four volumes of this study: http://www.rootsofyouthviolence.on.ca/english/reports.asp
Media
Coverage: This page also links to
other newspaper coverage of the report and links
directly to the report itself. Please visit link: http://www.thestar.com/article/537436
This is the newspaper article/opinion
editorial written by Roy McMurtry and
Alvin Curling on the Roots of Youth Violence to accompany their report.
It is very suitable for posting at your locations or circulating or
discussing
at a youth meeting (easier than discussing the 500 page report).
Do add your comments as they pertain to youth centres, especially more
youth positive comments.
Do also email your MPP
to inform them about the positive role youth centres play in the lives
of youth across all regions of Ontario.

Send
in your Best Fundraiser
Given the current economic conditions, which is affecting funding
available from all funders, including foundations, we need to share
ideas. Especially important are those local community fundraisers
that likely can operate in other areas of the country. Sharing
ideas is our strongest resource. TYPS is compiling a booklet on your
Best Fundraisers. This will be compiled and workshopped for the
upcoming TYPS Conference, as well as posted online as a resource for
TYPS members. Click on this link
to the form. - click here for a .pdf version

We are encouraging all youth
centres and stakeholders communicating with TYPS to try out Skype,
which is a computer based free phone service - it should save you and
us bundles on long-distance phone costs. Takes a few minutes to
install, though you need high speed for the voice service.
