CJOYC: Commission de la Jeunesse D'Ottawa Youth Commission

The Ottawa Youth Commission recently launched Youth Chatter; Ottawa's new city-wide youth newsletter!

---

In existence since June 2006, CJOYC represents the voice of Ottawa’s youth. CJOYC connects young people of the capital, and Ottawa City Council. Through our activities, the Commission solicits and the views and opinions of young people in Ottawa. Through updates to city council, regular reports, and a strong relationship to City Councilors and staff, CJOYC is able to ensure that this voice is heard.

We encourage youth to be actively involved in the community to become a caring and contributing citizen. We believe young people can make the difference and that support of youth participation will help build a positive community. The CJOYC model is intended to encourage youth to speak up and voice their opinions on how to make Ottawa a better place for young people. CJOYC provides opportunities for conversation with young people of Ottawa, youth serving agencies and City staff. We generate information that is useful to City council and ensure that youth are viewed as a vital resource in matters affecting their communities.

BE HEARD! If you are a young person who has something to say, please fill out our online survey.
