Our Story

The Bowen Island Youth Centre is a part of the island’s history. We have been a hangout and a second home for generations of Bowen youth.

Youth aged 12-18 are welcome to stay for an hour, the whole night or just use the place as somewhere to meet up with friends before going out. Everyone is free to come and go as they please. During drop-ins, there are always fun things happening like street hockey, skate sessions, BBQs, movies, gaming, and lots of goofing around! Ultimately, you’re sure to find someone and something that fits with where you’re at.

The centre is open every Friday (4:00pm - 9:30pm). All youth are welcome to hang out. We have a ping pong table, air hockey, basketball, table hockey, mini-pool, as well as a big screen TV, which makes for great movie watching and multi-player gaming. If you have a band or would like to jam with other youth musicians, come down to use the youth centre space to practice or just jam. We have a bunch of instruments available. There is a fully functional mobile skateboard park in the parking lot of the youth center. It will be open the same hours as the youth center. Come down and check it out.

If you turn up and want to make something new happen, there are always friendly, fun-loving Youth Workers on hand to help spontaneously facilitate stuff and offer quality advice. And if you need to check in on a more personal or private level, you’re welcome to talk with them or contact John. He’s available at 604-240-3467.
