YSB celebrates 50 years of supporting youth at risk
February 4, 2010—The Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa (YSB) celebrated the start of its 50th anniversary today by calling on Ottawans whose lives have been touched by the agency’s work to reconnect and share their stories. The launch was attended by hundreds of former and current staff members, clients, community partners and sponsors and included the unveiling of a mural called “My YSB at 50,” painted by six young people from the YSB’s youth engagement program. The two-sided mural will be exhibited during the coming year at YSB’s 20 service locations across Ottawa, where staff members willadd their own messages.
