July Round-Up :

SSEN participated in a great NPI retreat organized by CHSSN on July 12, 2023 in the beautiful town of Magog. Other colleagues from other organizations came and shared their successes with everyone. The meeting was great and very instructive.

The Book Club members met on July 18. What a wonderful evening it was! Members shared their beautiful thoughts about the book they read. We had a chance to welcome new and returning members. Everyone had a wonderful time and we cannot wait to meet again in August!

SSEN collaborated with Jeffery Hale Partners on a park playdate hosted by a parent at Parc des Chutes in the South Shore. This took place on July 29, 2023. The children played and loved discovering that new park. Parents enjoyed themselves as well. We’d like to thank JHP for this collaboration.

Upcoming Events

August - New Month

August is going to be a slow month with the construction holidays in some sectors. People will be enjoying the bit of summer they have left. We hope you enjoy every second of it! Enjoy the sun and do things that make you happy with the people that bring you joy!

INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY 2023 Theme: Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World

"Today, the world is actively engaged in a green transition. The movement towards an environmentally sustainable and climate-friendly world is of utmost importance not only for addressing the global climate crisis but also for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A successful transition towards a greener world hinges on the development of green skills among the population. Green skills refer to the "knowledge, abilities, values, and attitudes needed to live in, develop and support a sustainable and resource-efficient society.""
