Youth Week is based on an international initiative which acknowledges, celebrates and advocates youth empowerment, achievement and involvement throughout the year. From April 23 – May 1, 2011, Calgary communities, agencies and businesses come together to host events, projects and offer free services during a week long celebration of youth. We hope to stimulate growth and expansion in programs and services focused on young Calgarians and increase the general understanding of the needs of young people today.
