Youth Haven was thrilled to participate in the Barrie Pride Parade on Saturday, June 11, 2022.

A number of our youth joined in the celebration. Thank you to Barrie Pride for allowing the kids to ride on your float. Thank you to the Barrie Police Service for making room on your float for some Youth Haven staff and volunteers.

Did you know, according to the Homeless Hub, approximately 25 to 40 percent of youth experiencing homelessness in Canada identifies as LGBTQ+?
