We met with all three party leaders to talk about The Heart of Riverdale, our programs, our youth employment work, and the hundreds of letters of support from our community. Each party shared a letter and has included commitments in their platforms related to youth the arts and community programs. We want to congratulate the Yukon Party on successfully winning majority.

We are grateful to everyone who sent in a letter and are grateful to all three parties who promised to help us out. Strong communities grow when we invest in creativity, learning, and youth.
