Junior council

Here in Hemmingford, the set of values and pride of belonging transcends generations. They fuel the pride of the community’s youth. Mayor Paul Viau expresses the fact that, “it is our youth who will benefit from the investments we are making today.” In a recent study conducted by CAI Global Group, a consulting firm, local youth were consulted, noting the importance of their role in our community. Mr. Viau goes on to say that “the involvement of young people in this project confirms the desire, in continuity, to introduce Hemmingford into a new era of growth and prosperity.”

To put these developments into practice, the youth of the territory have come together to form a youth council that works in partnership with the Hemmingford Sustainable Development Committee to target the short and long term objectives of the action plan. Under the guidance of Ms. Jayne McNaughton, Executive Vice President and Partner of CAI Global, and Mr. Gregg Edwards, a 41-year educator of our local youth, this young group will assist the Sustainable Development Committee in achieving the goals outlined in the action plan in the economic, social and environmental sectors.
