Rural Foundry Centres

Whereas youth in rural and remote British Columbia are facing mental health and wellness challenges just like their peers in urban centers; And whereas Foundry BC in-person Centers are largely located in urban British Columbia and not accessible for youth in rural and remote BC communities: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM lobby the provincial government to commit to establishing in-person Foundry Centres that meet the needs of rural and remote youth in their home communities, recognizing the unique challenges of youth living in rural and remote communities.
