OUR STORY


The Council was formed as a follow-up to the special activities organized by the Multicultural Association of Northwestern Ontario (MANWO) in 1985 to mark the International Youth Year. The Council's success can be attributed to a youth-to-youth approach to reach out to peers. This approach engages children and youth, giving them a voice to reach out to their peers and use positive influence to make a difference. Youth from all backgrounds make up the Council's board of directors who run the Council's affairs.

Youth Centre

​The Multicultural Youth Centre (MYC) was established in 1992 to serve as the Regional Multicultural Youth Council’s head office. After ten years in Victoriaville Mall, the Youth Centre was forced to move because we lost our funding from bingo revenues after the Thunder Bay Casino opened downtown. The Multicultural Youth Centre provides a variety of services and resource materials for children and youth.
