It's a weekend-long event that will welcome many youth from around the province to Dauphin.
Embracing Change is the theme as the Dauphin Friendship Centre's Youth Council gets set to host a youth wellness gathering this weekend at the DFC in Dauphin.
There will be cultural activities, games, and it's an opportunity to learn and make new friends.
There will be prizes, and it will run from Friday night until Sunday. It's open to those aged 13 to 29.
Carrie Lang is the youth coordinator at the Dauphin Friendship Centre.
"We're thrilled to be able to host something like this," said Lang. "We have a newly formed youth council that has done a fantastic job in planning this in its entirety. It's an exciting new thing. From this, we hope to gain some new youths and their wonderful ideas."
The Dauphin Friendship Centre's Youth Council currently has six members. Maddie Amyotte leads the group, and members are between the ages of 13 and 20.
The group welcomes community members between the ages of 13 and 29 with ideas for events that could be held or different activities.

"It's a good thing to come and meet other like-minded people, make new friendships, and celebrate culture," ended Lang. "We're hoping that after the gathering, more youth will step up to learn more about the Friendship Centre, and the Youth Program that we offer."
Food will be provided throughout the weekend for all who take part. Carrie says one of the activities will be bowling at Parkway Lanes.
