On November 13th, Synergy Youth and Community Development Society, in partnership with the Chestermere & Area Community Coalition, presented the Youth Safer Communities Project to the Council at the Government and Priorities meeting.
The project began with a youth survey to understand what young people need to feel safer in their communities. Based on survey recommendations, focus groups were conducted to dive deeper into the results and explore youth perspectives on safety and wellbeing.
The presentation covered the project’s methods, key findings, and outlined actionable next steps to enhance safety and support for youth in Chestermere and surrounding areas.
