註釋Youth participation has been identified as a key component in the healthy development of young people. This report describes and presents findings of a study designed to gather information on what is currently going on in Canadian communities with respect to youth participation. One objective was to identify best practices models of youth participation. The focus of the study was youth participation at the municipal level, with an exploration of the following key questions: the most important concerns currently being expressed by young people in the community; how the community identifies the concerns of youth; whether youth from all sectors of the population have an opportunity to participate; and the best way of involving young people in the community. The study was based on a three-step research process consisting of a literature review, telephone interviews with municipal officials & others working with youth, and site visits to 15 communities with interviews & focus group sessions. Responses from larger and smaller communities are compared. Appendices include a list of communities involved in the study, a telephone interview guide, and site visit summaries.
