Chilliwack back-to-school event will help youth connect

CHILLIWACK — Chilliwack Building Youth Futures (CBYF) is hosting a free back-to-school event called ‘Back to School Banger’ on Wednesday, September 21 at the Chilliwack Landing Centre.

According to the event coordinator, Jenna Fraser, the event is a byproduct of a weekly CBYF event and will cater to youth between the ages of 11 and 19.

“This bigger event is kind of a spinoff of the smaller events we do each Wednesday,” explained Fraser. “So, the smaller events we do are after-school hangouts; it’s like a youth drop-in centre.”

The event would run from 3 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. and is classified as a family event where everyone is welcome.
