The City of West Kelowna was grateful to be a part of the National Child Day workshop, Beyond Playgrounds & Programs - Local Government’s Role in the Mental Well-being of Children and Youth, together with the Central Okanagan Early Years Partnership, which included a presentation by Lianne Carley, policy lead at Vancouver Coastal Health. Attendees also had the opportunity to explore poster displays created by Early Childhood Education students from Sprott Shaw College and Okanagan College. The event brought together more than 140 participants from across the Central Okanagan from diverse sectors: Child care, early years, school district and post-secondary education, local government, mental health, foundations, college students and parents to engage in a dialogue that envisions a future where our children and youth have increased access to play, safety, participation, and social connection and belonging to create a happy, healthy and nurturing environment within all our communities. #WestKelowna #childrenandyouth #mentalwellbeing #protectivefactors #communitycollaboration #assetbasedcommunitydevelopment
