Past Campaigns & Projects by the CTC Coalition

Youth Employment Recognition Initiative Campaign 

Using CTC's Social Development Strategy, our coalition launched a youth recognition campaign, aimed to highlight the positive impact our youth have on local businesses and economy though employment. Read the Daily Planet article here. 

The Shed

Middle and High School students began meeting under the banner of CTC in the 2017-2018 school year. Needing no prompting from adults, the students immediately sought to explore opportunities for creating a youth link or recreation center. 

A temporary space is designated for youth and is set to open November 2024. The location is currently named The Shed - to be set at the old Voodoo Lounge lot. We are currently looking for a permanent space. Read more about the proposed Shed here.
