Letter to the Editor: The Regional Multicultural Youth Council (RMYC) urges Thunder Bay residents to consider youth and children's issues in the upcoming municipal election.
The Regional Multicultural Youth Council is urging Thunder Bay residents to carefully review the platforms of candidates running in the 2022 municipal election. We are appealing to those who can vote to choose those committed to investing in children and youth since we are this community’s most valuable human resource for the future.
A comprehensive report in this regard was prepared by the last Child Advocate, Councilor Frank Pullia and presented to City Council on December 18, 2018. It highlighted social issues affecting children and youth in our community and the need for a co-ordinated approach to prevent vulnerable kids falling through the cracks and becoming juvenile delinquents who end up as troubled adults and dysfunctional parents contributing to an ever-growing social burden.
The City should also make it easier for youth-led groups such as the RMYC, clubs such as the Boys and Girls Club, the Underground Gym and other grassroots organizations working to improve the lives of children to access financial resources for proactive programs, prevention services, and initiatives that engage and empower youths to make a difference for a better Thunder Bay.
We need a voice on Council to advocate on their behalf, monitor the 7 Youth Inquest recommendations, and work with the community to implement the Thunder Bay Children’s Charter.
