Safe Spaces for Chillin' & Fun
Looking for a safe, relaxed place to hang out?
Drop in to your local Youth Centre for FREE. You can meet friends there, play games (Nintendo, PS2, basketball, pool, fooz ball and more), or join in some of our planned activities. Chill in a place that's free of drugs, alcohol and violence.
Looking for something different to do? Find out about our programs and drop-in activities. Just check out the list of Youth Centres below for locations and hours.
Need help with a problem? At each Youth Centre, you'll find:
- A Youth Outreach Worker
- A Drug & Alcohol Worker
- An Employment Counsellor
- Your neighbourhood RCMP Constable.
The health clinics at Parkgate and Lynn Valley Youth Hall are also free and confidential (see table below under "Hours").
