#YouOttaKnow

Be Heard!

The Ottawa Youth Comission is hosting a one day, youth conference focused on transit and transportation in Ottawa. With Light Rail Transit, bicycle safety, new bus routes, new technologies and plans in Ottawa's transit and transportation, the way youth move and engage in their community is changing. At #YouOttaKnow youth are encouraged to share their perspectives and suggestions on these important topics while also learning about services available to them.

It is crucial that the youth voice be heard on these issues as this is their city too!
