Regional Chair Gary Burroughs and Regional Councillor Barbara Greenwood present members of MYAC with the environmental award.

MYAC was honoured to receive an environmental award from the Niagara Region tonight at regional headquarters in St. Catherines. This comes from the years of hard work that the committee has done in respect to environmental advocacy. We have successfully had the sale of plastic water bottles banned in municipal buildings, and are working together with city staff to bring multi-bin waste receptacles to the streets of Niagara Falls.

Northern Starfish!

If you missed City Council tonight, you missed a great presentation from 12-year old Wes about his project called Northern Starfish. Wes had a dream to bring a playground to Attawapiskat, an aboriginal community, which lacks decent recreation, among other things. Not only did MYAC vote to support Wes, but city council personally donated from their own pockets money to Wes’ cause! Please, check out more about his story at his website http://www.northernstarfish.org.

 

Thanks Wes for being a great youth representative of Niagara Falls!

Still saving up for that car? Tired of bumming rides off of your friends? Do you happen to have an extra quarter in your pocket? Well, the Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee has combined with Niagara Transit to give students a break on March Break. 25 cent bus rides for all students for the entire week! It’s a great way to save money and get a ride somewhere without bugging your friends! 25 cent bus rides are an opportunity that only comes twice a year, so grab your friends and take the bus instead of driving. You’re saving money and helping the environment at the same time. 25 cent bus rides are great for everyone!
