As you may know from the annoucements made by the Alliance for Children and Youth (here and here), the Social Planning Council of K-W is taking over the Mid-Month Connection newsletter formerly put out by the Alliance. The newsletter has been renamed and rebranded as the Waterloo Region Child and Youth Connection, but will still feature the same great content that you're used to, such as events, announcements, tweets and research about children, youth and families in the Waterloo Region. 

New Page on the Website & Twitter Handle

We've created a new Child and Youth page on our website to house the sign-up page and archives for the newsletter, past Alliance documents and information about our other streams of activity related to children and youth, such as our involvement in the Children's Planning Table and Child-Well-Being Dashboard. Visit the Child and Youth page to  read our first newsletter or to sign up to have the newsletter delivered to your inbox each month.  We've also taken over the Twitter account used by the Alliance, which has also been renamed; you can follow us over at @WRChildYouth. 

Submitting Content to the Newsletter

If you would like to submit articles or events for inclusion in the newsletter, please contact Gillian Veitch at gillian@waterlooregion.org. or on Twitter at @WRChildYouth. Please note that the deadline for submission of articles or events is the 13th of each month.
