Mr. Speaker, I am please to rise to share with members an event that took place recently in my riding of Willowdale.
On March 2, I had the honour to co-host, with the Toronto District School Board, the second annual Family and Youth Support Services Fair and Youth Job Fair. This event included a youth job fair, which encouraged and provided job search assistance as well as employment and volunteer opportunities for students and youth.
This was truly a co-operative approach to helping out the citizens of the community by providing information for seniors, students and families with all levels of government. This was an excellent opportunity to learn about and share the many services and organizations that existed in the community to support youth and their families as they encountered everything from learning opportunities and challenges, to mental and physical health matters, to looking for employment.
It was truly an inspiring event of which I was proud to be a part.
