The Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) is hosting a movie and pizza night for the recruitment of new Youth Advisory Council members. It takes place May 7 from 5-8pm at Chief Joe Mathias Centre.
The Council is looking specifically for Squamish youth (ages 16–26) with lived experience in foster care or unstable home environments.
The session is a casual way for youth to learn how they can help improve local services. The Nation is providing a meal (Big Mama’s and Papa’s Pizzeria) and an honorarium for their time and input.
We will also share details about the group’s upcoming cultural events and how voices of Squamish youth can lead to real change in the Community. The movie to be shown will be Night Raiders, a 2021 Canadian-New Zealand film.
