The Acton Youth Centre has new outdoor furniture thanks to a donation from the Three Musketears Golf Tournament.
Youth centre attendees provided input on the patio space furnishings, which include two picnic tables, a bench and umbrellas.
“The generosity of the families and friends of the Three Musketears enhances opportunities for youth in the Acton community and continues the legacy of this group,” said Mayor Rick Bonnette. “These additional amenities add friendly and welcoming spaces for youth to enjoy and build connections with everything the Acton Youth Centre has to offer.”
The annual golf tournament established in memory of three local youth, Mark Everson, Travis Toth and Rory Dick, has been held for the past 17 years. Since then, family and friends of the trio have raised and donated funds in their honour to various community initiatives, including the Three Musketears Skatepark in Acton.
As part of the Town’s youth services, the municipality operates two youth centres with locations in Acton and Georgetown. Both centres are operated by trained staff in partnership with social service agencies including Reach Out Centre for Kids (ROCK), ADAPT and Support House. All programs are provided at no charge and open to youth ages 12 to 24 years old. For more information, visit haltonhills.ca/youth.
