About the Survey
Canada's future will largely be shaped by its current young generation. With the COVID-19 pandemic evolving, it is essential to understand how Canadian youth have been impacted, with an emphasis on their employment and education. It is undeniable that COVID-19 has negatively impacted many potential growth opportunities for a diverse population of youth across the country. Many have been left in the dark during critical periods in their lives, often missing important milestones, and this survey aims to bring their voices to the frontline for policy changes and developing response measures. The Women's Multicultural Resource and Counselling Centre provides a wide range of services for vulnerable populations, including youth. The information from this survey will help guide us in creating services and developing resources that assist in furthering the opportunities for education and employment for this population. Your story is important and your voices will be heard. In order to take this survey, you must be between the ages of 15 and 24.

Your privacy and autonomy is our top priority - all responses to this survey are strictly confidential and anonymous. Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and will not impact the quality of services you receive.
