The Lloydminster Youth Council had a full year, one that included one of their biggest Border Idols.
The Lloydminster Youth Council presented their year in review at the July 15 Governance and Priorities Committee (GPC) meeting.
The year began with a safe travels walk, which aims to raise awareness of the importance of public transportation.
The youth council helped with hampers at the Salvation Army, attended Valentine’s day with seniors, held rec nights and took part in Kindness Wins 2024 at the Lloydminster and District Co-op.
Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers says the council has been around for a few years now.
“It’s a great initiative of some adults sitting down with some youth that wanted to make a difference, with some adult support youth council was created to make improvements and to make life better in our community.”
“That is the next generation of our leaders, municipal, provincial, or federal as well as business leaders, social leaders, in the community making the community a better place, so the work they do is terrific.”
The Youth Council also holds Border Idol, which this year was the largest they’ve ever held at nearly 200 attendees.
They’ve started up a podcast to give youth a platform to express themselves and talk about various issues.
