How can we prevent a lockdown generation in Canada?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Millennials and Gen Z are experiencing a once-in-a-generation economic crisis at a formative time period in their lives. From frustrating school disruptions to heartbreaking job layoffs to the concerning mental health crisis, this is not how young people envisioned starting out their adult lives. If we don’t do something about it, young people in Canada may be dealing with the economic and social fallout from this pandemic for the next 10 years.

Given the unprecedented threat to young people’s prospects and potential, we need a unique approach that meets the moment with urgency and ambition.

Join YMCA Canada and YWCA Canada in a conversation about how we can prevent a lockdown generation in Canada by investing in youth during post-pandemic recovery.

Featuring speakers such as:

  • Alfred Burgesson - Founder and CEO, Tribe Network
  • Bailey Greenspon - Director of Programs and Global Engagement, G(irls)20
  • Lana Bentley - Director of Program Strategy, YWCA Calgary

Moderated by Jessica Stepic Lue, Vice President of Government Relations & Advocacy at YMCA Canada.

Opening Remarks by Anjum Sultana, National Director of Public Policy & Strategic Communications at YWCA Canada.

This event will have French Interpretation and Closed Captioning.

Comment pouvons-nous éviter une génération 'confinement' au Canada ?

Pendant la pandémie de COVID-19, les Milléniaux et la génération Z vivent une crise économique unique en son genre à une période formatrice de leur vie. Perturbations scolaires fâcheuses, licenciements dramatiques, crise alarmante de la santé mentale; ce n'est pas ainsi que les jeunes envisageaient d'entamer leur vie d'adulte. Si nous n'agissons pas, les jeunes du Canada risquent de devoir faire face aux conséquences économiques et sociales de cette pandémie au cours des 10 prochaines années.

Compte tenu de la menace sans précédent qui plane sur les perspectives et le potentiel des jeunes, nous avons besoin d'une approche unique qui réponde de manière urgente et ambitieuse à la situation actuelle.

Joignez-vous à YMCA Canada et à YWCA Canada pour une conversation sur la façon dont nous pouvons prévenir une génération ‘confinement’ au Canada en investissant dans la jeunesse pendant la relance post-pandémique.

Avec des intervenant.e.s tel.le.s que :

  • Alfred Burgesson - Fondateur et PDG, Tribe Network
  • Bailey Greenspon - Directrice des programmes et de l'engagement mondial, G(irls)20
  • Lana Bentley - Directrice de la stratégie des programmes, YWCA Calgary

Modérée par Jessica Stepic Lue, Vice-présidente des relations gouvernementales et du plaidoyer à YMCA Canada.

Discours d'ouverture par Anjum Sultana, Directrice nationale des politiques publiques et des communications stratégiques à YWCA Canada.

Cet événement bénéficiera d'une interprétation en français et d'un sous-titrage codé.
