The Ontario Government is creating a new youth env

The Ontario Government is creating a new youth environment council, to provide young Ontarians in grades 9 to 12 with more opportunities to share their insights and ideas on climate change and other key environmental issues impacting the province’s future. Ontario youth in high school are encouraged to apply to be volunteer members of the council by August 4.

Members of the youth council will meet monthly from September to April to hear from expert guest speakers, discuss a range of environmental and climate change issues and provide input on potential solutions to ministry officials, including the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks.

Eligible youth can apply to be members of the consultation group by completing an application form on ontario.ca/YEC by August 4, 2021 at 11:59 pm. Candidates must currently be in grades 9 to 12 now, or as of the 2021 fall school year, and should have a passion for the environment, an understanding of key climate-related issues and solutions in their regions, and work or volunteer experience with activities related to climate change and the environment.

Fierté Timmins Pride, with funding by the Departm

Fierté Timmins Pride, with funding by the Department of Women and Gender Equality Canada, is conducting a Needs Assessment Study to determine gaps in current community services for the 2SLGBTQ+ community in Northeastern Ontario.

The Needs Assessment Study includes three components:
1. Survey – open May 31 to June 20
2. Focus groups – email info@atzequityconsulting.com if you would like to participate
3. Key informant interviews

They are looking for input from 2SLGBTQ+ community members, friends, families, and service providers. The aim is to center community voices and experiences. They invite diverse representation to ensure all voices are heard and included.

Please take the survey at www.timminspride.com/survey to help them find out what is and isn't working in our North East communities for 2SLGBTQ+.

@tnmengage’s Youth Action Committee (YAC) is hosting two consultations this month exclusively for BIPOC youth ages 13-25! The YAC is a provincial advisory committee made up of youth aged 16-25 who work to reduce stigma surrounding mental health and improve services for children and youth.

The aim of these consultations is to amplify the voices and experiences of racialized youth within the Child and Youth Mental health Sector across Ontario. The YAC are looking to connect with BIPOC youth who also identify with being either: low income; male/masculine; LGBTQ2S+; or reside in a northern or remote community

New Service Launched to Assist Individuals Isolati

New Service Launched to Assist Individuals Isolating with COVID-19

Timmins, ON – Cochrane District Social Services Administration Board (CDSSAB) and the City of Timmins have teamed up with 211 Ontario – Northern Region to offer a new service for Cochrane District. The goal of the service is to provide support for individuals who are required to isolate, but may not have the social supports in place to do so effectively.
Beginning today, individuals identified as COVID positive or who have been identified as high-risk close contacts and are required to isolate, can call 2-1-1 for help to receive groceries or essential household items, medication delivery, mental health services, and more.

As COVID-19 cases surged within the region, finding a solution to allow for safe and comfortable patient isolation was a priority, but with that came the concern of how to manage food distribution and essential services for those in need of assistance.

“211 presents an ideal solution,” says Carole Duguay, Manager of Community Services, CDSSAB. “The system is designed around client and issue management and can quickly provide an appropriate response. Our partner organizations like the Porcupine Health Unit (PHU) were already addressing some of these concerns, but by centralizing it through 211 Ontario, we’re freeing up time for our frontline response and better coordinating services.”

211 is a community and social services helpline available to the public that can be accessed by phone, email, and online at https://211ontario.ca. Its purpose is to help individuals navigate and connect with a variety of social services that deal with a variety of concerns from access to health care, emergency crisis, family services and more.
