Saugeen Youth Coalition Holiday Bash

Responding to local request for a concert in their community, the Saugeen Youth Coalition (SYC) is planning an event December 13. Bring your ideas was the only thing asked at a recent pizza lunch hosted by the Coalition. Local youth told the Coalition that they wanted a concert.

The Holiday Bash concert will take place December 13, 7:00 to 11:00 p.m., at Southampton Town Hall; doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets, $7.00 with a donation of a canned food item or $8.00 without, are available at the door. The evening line-up consists of Touch Plant, Ossified, Emmett & friends, Liam Sanagan, and Squirm & the Dogs. SYC is very excited to bring this concert to life. We would like to invite all youth to join us for this drug and alcohol free event.

The Saugeen Youth Coalition is a group of local youth that work with adult community members with the common goal of enhancing positive youth culture within our area. SYC plays an active role in ensuring that the collective ‘voice’ of the local youth is heard and represented within the community.

The Saugeen Youth Coalition would like to thank everyone who brought his or her ideas forward and participated in the pizza lunch.
