Planet Youth Comes to Pabineau First Nation 🌍✨

Event Held: Tuesday, October 21 | 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM | Pabineau Band Hall

Pabineau First Nation recently hosted an inspiring community session on Planet Youth, a global initiative focused on helping young people thrive through strong, supportive communities.

Originally developed in Iceland, Planet Youth is a proven model that reduces substance use among youth by improving the environments that shape their daily lives — from home and school to friendships and free time.

Now being adapted right here in the Chaleur region, this approach brings together a local coalition of more than 30 dedicated community members representing schools, health, families, and youth organizations.

Building a Brighter Future Together 🌱

During the event, attendees learned how Planet Youth uses real data and community input to better understand what helps young people stay healthy and connected. Together, participants explored ways to strengthen the protective factors that help our youth grow with confidence, balance, and belonging.

Community Collaboration in Action

The evening highlighted how powerful change begins when we come together — listening to our youth, sharing ideas, and taking action as a community. The collaboration among families, schools, and local organizations reflects Pabineau First Nation’s ongoing commitment to supporting wellness, prevention, and opportunity for our young people.

Pabineau First Nation extends heartfelt thanks to Planète Jeunesse Chaleur Planet Youth and all those who attended and shared their voices. Together, we’re helping shape a brighter, healthier future for the next generation. 💛
