The Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee was created in 2004 under the guidance of Mayor Lorne Mitton in an effort to get a better sense of what Moncton’s youth would like to see in Moncton, what the city is doing well and what we can improve on. The committee is comprised of three representatives from each of the four local high schools: Bernice MacNaughton, Harrison Trimble, Moncton High and École L’Odyssée. The Mayor selects the committee members from applications solicited through advertising, notices in schools, and the media. For more information visit www.moncton.ca
