Municipal engagement survey -- Youth Services Plan 2026-2029

Aperçu du projet

Tous les trois ans, le service des parcs et des loisirs élabore un plan des services à la jeunesse afin de cerner les enjeux qui touchent les jeunes de la municipalité âgé(e)s de 13 à 24 ans, et de répondre à l’évolution de leurs besoins, de leurs valeurs et de leurs priorités. Un nouveau plan est en cours d’élaboration pour 2026-2029.

L’équipe du Plan des services à la jeunesse, composée de 20 jeunes résident(e)s de la région d’Halifax, appuie l’élaboration du plan et la mobilisation connexe afin de garantir que le processus est bien dirigé par des jeunes. Cette équipe a joué un rôle clé dans l’élaboration des questions du sondage en ligne.

Les services à la jeunesse désignent tous les services de loisirs que la municipalité offre aux jeunes (p. ex. les programmes avec inscription, les programmes libres, les équipes d’action jeunesse, les groupes de jeunes et les événements pour les jeunes, etc.)
- Les prix sont les suivants :
  - Nintendo Switch (1)
  - Apple Watch (2)
  - Apple AirPods (3)

Possibilités de mobilisation

La municipalité invite les jeunes (âgé(e)s de 13 à 24 ans) à participer à un sondage en ligne pour aider à orienter les futurs programmes et services axés sur les jeunes, particulièrement dans le domaine des loisirs.

Répondez à ce sondage pour participer au tirage des prix. Pour être admissibles, les participant(e)s doivent fournir leur nom et leur numéro de téléphone. Le tirage au sort aura lieu le 8 mai 2026.

Des séances de rétroaction amusantes en personne auront également lieu dans différents espaces récréatifs. Pour en savoir plus, consultez le site www.halifax.ca/ysp.

Que peut-on changer à cette étape :

Les résultats du sondage serviront à la préparation du Plan des services à la jeunesse 2026‑2029 de la municipalité en mettant en lumière les points à améliorer et les possibilités d’optimiser les services de loisirs offerts aux jeunes de la municipalité.

Prochaines étapes :

Après la clôture de la consultation publique, les commentaires seront analysés afin d’en dégager des tendances et des pistes de réflexion, et un rapport sur ce que nous avons entendu sera rédigé par la Section jeunesse du service des parcs et des loisirs.

Le personnel du service des parcs et des loisirs, en collaboration avec l’équipe du Plan des services à la jeunesse, utilisera les commentaires des jeunes pour amorcer l’élaboration du Plan des services à la jeunesse 2026-2029.
