Our key note speaker will be Katy Hutchison from B.C. Katy is a concerned parent and restorative justice advocate with a compelling, real life story. She also is the author of Walking After Midnight.

Liberty For Youth along with the RBC is hosting their Second Annual Barbeque to help raise awareness of the RBC’s charitable initiatives within the community. Taking place this Friday, June 25th from 11:00AM to 3:00PM, this free event is being held at the RBC branch located on 545 Rymal Rd. East in Hamilton.
The barbeque will see the RBC Foundation present Liberty For Youth with a cash donation of $7,500 to help the organization continue its work within the community. “RBC’s financial support in the past has provided programming, transportation and scholarships for over 190 at-risk youth.” said Frederick Dryden, Executive Director of Liberty For Youth. “The donation being presented truly shows the RBC’s commitment to the work our organization is doing by helping to change the lives of at-risk youth.”
To date, the RBC Foundation has donated $25,000 to Liberty For Youth, “I have seen firsthand the tremendous positive impact Liberty For Youth is having on at-risk youth.” Said Ken Palmateer, the RBC’s Branch Manager, “Their focus is very grass roots when it comes to education, mentoring and personal support of these youth in any way that encourages the buy in and success of the youth.” The community and the media is invited to attend this free barbeque event. There will be a mini basketball tournament and prize draws.
