The Grove welcomes community to newest youth hub in Guelph
Global News
An open house was held at their location on Woolwich Street in Guelph. Members of the Guelph Storm were there as well as Canadian Para-Ice Hockey Team Captain Tyler McGregor.
The Grove Hubs Wellington Guelph invited the public to see their newest youth hub.
Hundreds got the chance to take a look inside the hub located on Woolwich Street, south of Woodlawn Road East in Guelph, during an open house on Wednesday.
Visitors were able to see some of the amenities inside including a game room, study room, kitchen, laundry room and showers.
Youth got the chance to shoot pool or play table tennis with Parker Snelgrove, Rowan Topp, and Brayden Gillespie of the Guelph Storm. There was also an appearance by the captain of the Canadian Para-Ice Hockey team Tyler McGregor.
“What we are seeing here is a reflection of our community accessing the space,” said Jeff Hoffman, executive director of the Grove.
The location of the newest Grove hub is in the same building as the Canadian Mental Health Association children and youth services building. The youth hub opened in February, coinciding with the opening of the new CMHA office.
“There are many families who access these services (who) are in the north end of Guelph,” said Hoffman, on the decision to open the hub on Woolwich. “Having a service in a space available for families and youth in the north end made a lot of sense,”
There are five Grove youth hubs in Guelph and Wellington County. Each is designed to be a one-stop shop for youth between 12 and 26 years of age. In addition to recreation, the hubs also provide mental health services, primary care, education, employment and other community and social services.
