North4Youth wants to hear what young people want

North4Youth is working to make Wellington North more are attractive to youth.

North4Youth wants to hear from young people in Mapleton, Minto and Wellington North.

Anyone between the ages of 10 - 25 can fill out a survey to share how they feel about their community, and what could be done to meet their needs and wants.

The questionnaire is available either online @north4youth Instagram or at libraries in Drayton, Arthur, Mount Forest, Clifford, Harriston and Palmerston.

“By doing so, you will be contributing to creating a more youth-friendly future,” notes municipal youth intern Erin Raftis.

Everyone filling out the survey automatically receives a $5 gift card to a local food shop and anyone who refers the survey to five other youth will be entered into a draw to win a grand prize!

More details are available on @north4youth Instagram, under the survey highlight.
