NSYouth.ca – North Shore Youth Services Directory

The 3 north shore municipalities, City of North Vancouver, District of North Vancouver, and Municipality of West Vancouver put together an online directory of services for youth.  The PLAN-Y.ca (Pemberton and area) resource directory was built with permission using the same platform.   If you spend time in Vancouver, this directory contains many resources located on the north shore and lower mainland.
