Minto youth council plans “˜Neon”™ theme dance

A “Neon” theme Youth Dance to be held at the Harriston Minto Community Centre on May 5 will be among the next projects for the Minto Youth Action Council (MYAC).

The dance, open to youths aged 12 to 16, will feature door prizes, pizza, snacks and music by DJ Darrin English. Admission to the event will be by food bank donation, and doors will open at 7pm.

This will be the second such event held by the group, which hopes to build on the momentum from its New Year’s dance held in January.

MYAC, which is made up of local youth volunteers aged 13 to 19, will be hosting other events in Minto in the coming months, including outdoor movie nights, scavenger hunts and skill building workshops.

Formed last fall, MYAC aims to increase youth engagement with the local community, both through youth-directed activities and by outreach to existent community groups seeking youth buy-in for their own initiatives.

Anyone interested in more information about these events, or about becoming involved in the initiative, can contact youth@town.minto.on.ca.
