Ottawa – OttYouth, a new web portal on ottawa.ca designed for youth, by youth, was unveiled today by Mayor Jim Watson, Councillor Mark Taylor, Chair of the Community and Protective Services Committee, and Councillor Mathieu Fleury, who is honourary co-chair of the Ottawa Youth Engagement Committee.
“The OttYouth portal is an example of how much we value the contributions of youth by responding directly to their needs,” said Mayor Watson. “Today’s announcement is also part of the City’s ongoing commitment to improve how it helps residents access City services through ottawa.ca.”
Development of a youth portal is one of the top priorities identified in the City’s Youth Summit Action Plan, which was created following the mayor’s Youth Summit, which took place at City Hall in October 2012.
“Young people in Ottawa know that the future of their city is in their hands and they want to become more involved in their community right now,” said Councillor Taylor. “The City offers opportunities for that involvement. We just need to make sure the right people hear about it.”
OttYouth will allow young people who use it to access a number of resources on ottawa.ca geared especially for them, including:
Among the programs currently seeking more participation from young people:
“OttYouth is a great tool for engaging with young people because it is an, easy-to-navigate, one-stop shop for all municipal information geared towards the City’s youth aged 16 to 25,” said Councillor Fleury.
