The Youth Inclusion Program provided an update at Thunder Bay City Council.
The program offers neighbourhood based activities and individual support, focusing on youth aged 12 to 24.
Project Manager, Kaitlyn Prezio, carried out a presentation focusing on how the program has shifted to an online format prior to a questioning period from councillors.
Tough questions did come up, including from At Large Councillor Rebecca Johnson who wanted to know how the Youth Inclusion Program has spent its $5.6-million budget.
“The spending has been on really developing the program, so training and development of staffing, on getting our sites up and running because we did start really with nothing for the program. Being able to have our office space as well as program supplies and different needs for the participants involved with our programs,” said Prezio.

On International Women’s Day, one City Councillor admits we still need to make more progress.
The day was established to recognize the contributions of women.
Rebecca Johnson, who co-founded the local Women in Politics group, points out women are just over half the population. She doesn’t see that balance reflected in Parliament or Thunder Bay City Council.
“So, we’re not where we need to be. And there’s a lot of reasons why women don’t run [for office], but at the same point in time we have to encourage more women to do that and also to be elected,” she says, adding she is pleased to see more women elected to other Councils in the Northwest.
