Description: Youth Haven partnered up with local community members and businesses to create a special night for several youth in the Barrie area. "Unfortunately, many of the youth that we see through Youth Haven don't have the opportunity to experience their high school prom night due to non-traditional life experiences," said Jennifer Kaplinski with Youth Haven. "We wanted to give them a time to shine, a night for themselves where they can just relax and have fun and not have to worry about their struggles," added Kaplinski. Participants arrived at the Ferndale Banquet Hall, where they were pampered by professional make-up artists, and hair stylists on hand ready to glam them up for their big night, along with gowns and suits. It wouldn't be a prom without professional photographers on hand to capture the perfect moments of the evening while enjoying refreshments and tunes as they danced the night away. Thank you to everyone who made this special event possible.

"Last year, I was able to experience 'my prom' through Youth Haven. This year means more to me personally as I am here as part volunteer and part guest. I can now see everyone else enjoy that perfect evening that I had the opportunity to experience last year." said MJ as she posed with Sergio Morales, Barrie Ward 9 Councillor
