Colwood is participating in BC Youth Week 2024

It is a week of fun filled activities to strengthen connections with youth in our community. We're working to highlight the interests, accomplishments, and diversity of youth and connect them to people and activities that support their health, well-being, and success.

Supporting community safety & well being

One of Colwood Council’s six strategic priorities is Well Being – with the understanding that a healthy community invests in the well being of its children and youth Youth today face unique challenges as our world becomes increasingly complex. Data shows a decline in life satisfaction for youth. When young people are connected to their community, know there are safe places to go and spend time, and can participate in activities that promote positive relationships, skills and habits, we’re investing in the safety and success of youth, as well as the safety and success of our community as a whole.
