We're celebrating young people and their contributions to the community by offering seven days of free and fun events as part of National Youth Week from May 1 to 7.

The town's activities will take place at locations throughout Oakville. Youth aged 11-19 will have free access to all drop-in swimming, skating, sport and fitness programs and Oakville Public Library creative activities. This year's line-up also features an opportunity to take on members of the  Oakville fire department in a firefighting combat challenge, a filmmaking workshop, a talent show and a 12-hour art project.
