About

We're an advisory body to City Council whose work is underpinned by two pillars: policy and input to City Council, and the production of initiatives and events.

We've been representing the views, perspectives and aspirations of Edmontonians ages 13-23 since 1995.

In accordance with our mandate, we engage in varied work to serve young citizens. 

We want your help to keep the heart of Alberta beating strong. We want to hear what you think about your city.

Join us in building a brighter municipality.

Why Vote?

This is probably the most important question that we’re going to be addressing in this series, and honestly, the answer is not as complicated as you might think. It’s pretty simple actually
 you should vote because you live here.

This is your chance to change the game on mental health, inform the organizations and leaders what it is youth need with regards to mental health services, AND the opportunity to win some $250 in prizes along the way! This survey is not restrictive on age. Those older than the youth bracket are able to provide input as well! Check out the link in our bio to fill the survey out đŸ˜ŠđŸ™ŒđŸœ

Our final day of the sustainability campaign gets into general changes you can make to create a more sustainable community for everyone to live in. Stop buying bottled water and use a reusable water bottle instead to reduce plastic waste. Consider hanging wet clothes on a drying line or rack instead of using a powered dryer. Put up a "no junk mail" sign on your letter box to limit the amount of paper you consume. Try eating in as much as you can. If you're ordering takeout ask for as minimal packaging as possible. Only by implementing green practices ourselves can we begin to create the world we want to live in. Thanks for tuning in for this past week and we hope that some of the tips we mentioned be useful to you.
Our second last day of the CEYC Sustainability Campaign is going to be dealing with reusing and recycling, a simple idea, but highly effective! By reusing and recycling many everyday home items, not only will you be making a positive impact on the environment but you'll also be saving some money! Donate your old athletic shoes to Nike's Reuse-A-Shoe program, a great way to recycle materials and increase sustainability in product manufacturing Avoid plastic bags from stores and instead opt for reusable bags when you go shopping Don't know what to recycle? No problem! You can use the City of Edmonton's online "WasteWise" calculator to figure out what trash goes where Have fun!
