The Youth Expo is the STARTING LINE towards improving the lives of others.

We recognize the Youth Expo is an event attracting individuals from all over the province.  

The care of the public is our first concern and elements are being incorporated into the event to deter potential spread.  As we continue to prepare for the Youth Expo, the status of the province is closely monitored.  

We can all do our part to stay healthy and prevent the spread of any respiratory illness, including COVID-19.  Please continue to follow prevention practices such as:

• washing your hands frequently with soap and water or using hand sanitizer
• coughing or sneezing into your elbow or a tissue (throw the tissue away)
• limiting contact with others when you're sick
• limiting touching your eyes, nose, and mouth
• not sharing items that may have saliva on them like utensils and bottles/glasses
• cleaning surfaces like taps, doorknobs, and countertops often
