[Advisors] Service Canada Centres for Youth closures

[Lynda Rickard]

I don't believe that we have a Service Canada Centre for Youth in Lindsay,
we have a regular Service Canada office.  However, I can certainly attest to
the fact that our CAP sites are a youth gather place and that we help them
with any tasks they are working on.

Subject: [Advisors] Service Canada Centres for Youth closures


Hello advisors.  Apparently HRSCD has discontinued the Service Canada
Centres for Youth, claiming the centres were no longer being used by youth.
The chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students is looking for any
resources that talk about gaps in access to technology/internet for young
people in order to fight this closure.

We know that many youth use CAP sites for internet access and that CAP sites
often offer assistance with tasks such as finding employment. Is there an
overlap here?  Are some CAP sites serving as Service Canada Centres for
Youth.

I'm not sure how to respond to this request for info. Any comments out
there?

Marita
