Youth Forum 2023 was a blast!
A big thank you to everyone who joined us for the 12th Annual Youth Forum today! We had a fantastic turnout (almost 800 attendees) and it was incredible to see so many passionate young people come together to create and celebrate positive changes.

Youth Forum, a pinnacle event of CIWA’s Youth Mentorship Program, is celebrating its twelfth year. Funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, the forum showcases the individual experiences of mentees and mentors involved in the program, and highlights many success stories of integration and engagement as experienced by young immigrants and mainstream youth.
