BRANTFORD, ON – The City of Brantford, in partnership with the Brantford Youth Council (BYC), is proud to host free activities to celebrate National Youth Week from May 1 to 7, 2022.

“We look forward to recognizing Brantford youth for their active participation and engagement in our community,” says Kim Rolson, Community Recreation Supervisor for the City of Brantford. “The City of Brantford, designated as a Youth Friendly Community, strives to connect youth with others by creating fun, inclusive safe spaces.”
