Mayor Stephen Mandel proclaimed June as Next Gen Month in the City of Edmonton on June 6, 2012, at Pecha Kucha Night 13. Next Gen Month unites and celebrates a new wave of volunteer organizations dedicated to making Edmonton a place young people choose to live, learn and work now and in the future. With this proclamation, the City of Edmonton recognizes young, passionate, community-minded individuals volunteering on next gen community organizations and applauds their commitment to civic engagement.

At a variety of events throughout Next Gen Month, Edmontonians ages 18 – 40 can connect with Edmonton’s next gen community, get involved, share ideas and help shape the city’s future.
