The City of St. John’s invites young adults, 18 to 30, to help shape the future of their city through a refreshed approach to engagement. We also encourage residents who are 17 years of age and graduating from high school this year to provide their thoughts and ideas as well. We’re not just collecting feedback, we’re building something together. Your ideas can influence real change in St. John’s - from how we design public spaces to how we plan for the future.

The current Youth Engagement Strategy, approved in 2020, no longer reflects the priorities or communication habits of today’s young adults. As a result, the City's Youth Engagement Working Group is developing a new strategy to connect and communicate with residents who are 18 to 30 years old.

Engagement is open until January 16, 2026. Feedback can be provided by:

  • Attending a pop-up event:
    • Paul Reynolds Community Centre: Sunday, November 30 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
    • Mews Community Centre: Saturday, December 13 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
  • Participating in a focus group - send us an email if you're interested
  • Providing written feedback and ideas on this page
  • Calling 311 and asking to speak to a member of the project team.

Additionally, the project team will connect with key committees and interested parties to gather input. Findings will be shared publicly before the final strategy is developed.
