Overview

Glenforest Secondary School, located at Fieldgate Drive and Burnhamthorpe Road East, will be home to the City’s second youth hub providing services and programs that reflect the needs of local youth.

Public consultation

In early 2025, the City led focus groups, pop-up engagements and an online survey. More than 600 people answered our survey, and 54% of responses came from youth.

The community asked for a welcoming, inclusive space where young people can connect and access programs and services such as:

  • Meals
  • Cooking and nutrition classes
  • Mental and physical wellness resources
  • Computers
  • Leadership training
  • Career support

This feedback will guide the design and layout of the hub. Planning will continue throughout 2025, and construction will begin in 2026.

Youth Information Session

Join us for a Youth Information Session to preview the preliminary design concepts of the new Glenforest Youth Hub. In February, you shared your ideas and feedback on what the new hub should look like. The preliminary design concept is ready—and we want you to see it first!

This drop-in information session is exclusively for youth. Come check out the concepts, ask questions and see how your input shaped the space.
