Free sports and other activities for Mississauga youths next week

Young people in Mississauga can take part in a wide variety of sports, arts, literacy and other events next week–and it’s all free of charge.

From May 1 to 7, which is National Youth Week, Mississauga residents ages 12 to 24 can sign up for anything from basketball, pickleball and weightlifting to an online teen book club, a youth boot camp and table tennis.

And there are many more free activities beyond those choices scheduled for next week.

“Join us online and in-person for a week-long festival filled with free events and activities,” City of Mississauga officials say. “Celebrate National Youth Week by expressing your creativity, exchanging ideas and connecting with local youth.”

National Youth Week takes place every year from May 1 to 7 and features community events celebrating arts, environment, literacy and recreation.
