Beyond the Street: Youth & Communities Taking Action on Homelessness  

At some point during any given year, up to 200,000 Canadians are without a
place to call home; 50,000 to 66,000 of those individuals experiencing
homelessness are the future of our country - our youth 



Beyond the Street: Youth & Communities Taking Action on Homelessness was
Canada’s first national conference focusing on youth homelessness. Beyond
the Street welcomed close to 250 delegates from all over the country at The
Battery Hotel and Suites on September 26-29, 2006. The conference was held
in St. John’s, NL - named the 2006 Cultural Capital of Canada for cities
with populations between 50,000 and 125,000, and the oldest city in North
America! 

This important event profiled initiatives that - and people who - are
leading efforts to address youth homelessness across Canada. Conference
activities highlighted existing challenges and emerging trends in youth
homelessness and showcased successful Canadian efforts to address them. By
harnessing the creative energy and ideas of youth, homelessness
organizations, and their partners, Beyond the Street brought together key
stakeholders to help build the foundation for ongoing national, regional,
and local action to respond to homelessness in Canada. Beyond the Street was
designed to maximize shared learning, networking, and collaboration among
delegates. 

The Homeless Youth Action Agenda was unanimously endorsed by all conference
delegates.
