This special Youth Week/Star Wars dance is for youth in grades six and seven, and provides them the opportunity to socialize, dance, eat candy, and win Youth Week swag and prizes. As dance crew members we supervise and create a fun environment for the participants through dance offs, limbo contests, and trivia for sour keys. These dances are always a hit and we are confident the youth are going to enjoy themselves, so come celebrate Youth Week and May 4th with us. The dance is from 7pm-10 and there are 550 tickets available. It will sell out.

The District of North Vancouver will be hosting their annual Youth Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, May 14th, 2019. The goal of the Civic Youth Awards, is to celebrate the accomplishments of youth in our community and to acknowledge and thank those who support the youth in our community. This year, The Mayor and Council will be presenting awards to over 30 young people from across the District, as well as 6 local businesses and individuals that have supported the youth in our community.
This training will help those working with children aged six to 12 in a front-line leader capacity, such as a camp counselor, coach or swim instructor. It provides in-depth training in the HIGH FIVE®Principles of Healthy Child Development to help front-line leaders understand what they need to do to ensure each child’s social, emotional and cognitive needs are met. Leaders learn activities and gain knowledge, tips and resources to enhance their programs as well as their relationships with children and other staff members.

Created by industry professionals in collaboration with a diverse group of Metro Vancouver youth, REWIRE is a new and original multi-media theatre production that speaks to both youth and adults. On the night of a symbolic lunar eclipse and major video game event, a group of youth come together to bravely tackle root causes of stress including poverty, grief, and sexual assault.
Directed and written by Valerie Methot, in collaboration with RHYTAG, REWIRE highlights integrity, positive action, community support, and inspires positive change in the face of stress, anxiety, and social isolation. It is a bold, must-see production full of truth, tragedy and comedy, along with original music and spectacular visuals.
