Empower Simcoe made the difficult but necessary decision to place our Youth Programming on hold at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. We have remained in closure throughout lockdowns and stay at home orders in order to keep youth, their families, staff and volunteers safe. We have been busy behind the scenes getting ready to once again offer engaging and dynamic supports to youth in our community. Keep an eye on your inbox, and check back for more information soon!
