Energy, excitement, and opportunity filled the Cornwall Civic Complex in Cornwall, Ontario on Thursday, April 24th, as over 500 youth from across the SDG counties gathered for the Youth Engagement Fair hosted by the Social Development Council of Cornwall and Area. From 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, the venue buzzed with curiosity and connection as students explored a vibrant mix of clubs, activities, and support services designed to spark passion and purpose.

With 42 dynamic exhibitors, the event was packed with hands-on games, instant prizes, and giveaways galore. Youth attendees received a special “passport” program, which encouraged interaction at each booth for a shot at winning big prizes—turning the entire fair into an exciting journey of discovery.
