"Untapped" Youth Action Showcase: an event to highlight the meaningful work youth are doing to create community projects.

Untapped Youth Ottawa Showcase 2023 at City Hall

In 2023, the event was held at City Hall (click this link) and had an incredible turnout with over 300 youth, teachers, and community leaders.

The energy was palpable at City Hall and every group was clearly passionate about their project. Sounds of talking and laughter were heard all throughout City Hall and attracted even more people to check it out!

Youth were certainly entrepreneurial and we had an amazing time learning about their businesses and products. Among some of the highlights were self-care subscription boxes, backpack strap pads, handmade jewelry, and a video game!
