Youth X Canada is a unique and inspiring project designed to discover, explore and celebrate the diversity of Canada's geographic, cultural and musical landscape as seen from the perspective of young, aspiring Canadian Music Artists.

These energetic young artists will travel across Canada visiting local Youth Centres and Indigenous communities, sharing experiences, hosting music workshops, and performing.

Through this musical connection, the Youth X Canada artists will encourage youth to share their mental health stories and to talk about issues facing their communities.

During their travels, the Youth X Canada team will be documenting their experiences through social media and encouraging everyone to celebrate Canada’s rich diversity and share a positive mental health message.
