Sponsored by the North Island College (NIC) Department of Business Administration, the #YouRock Award celebrates youth leadership, ingenuity, and initiative through meaningful contributions to the community.
In a release, the Town says the Comox Youth Council is an inspiring example of youth coming together to make a positive difference.
Providing a welcoming and inclusive space for youth to connect, collaborate, and grow, the Town says the council empowers members to hone their leadership skills while working in a team environment to plan and host community-focused events.
“This recognition showcases the incredible passion, creativity and dedication to community building from our youth,” said the Town’s Mayor, Nicole Minions.
