Youth Holiday Party

The Youth Holiday Party took place on December 15th at CultureLink. All youth participants from the various NYSS programs were invited to celebrate the end of a successful year of programming.
33 youth braved the cold and stormy conditions to take part in the celebration.
The evening included delicious food, games, prizes and goody bags for all attendees.
A game of Family Feud led by staff created an atmosphere of team work and also a lot of laughter.

Youth Recreation Club Girls - Downtown Outing

We started our day with a walking tour of the St. Lawrence Market. Walking is a great form of exercise and when you're having this much fun you hardly notice it.

We had a discussion on self appreciation and body image, which led to the girls sharing what helps them feel confident. The girls then gave each other makeovers with the help of the staff at Sephora. 

  

It's fair to say the girls had a fun day!!
