The LINC Youth Centre is inviting Comox Valley youth to take part in a full week of activities as part of BC Youth Week, running May 1 to 7.

Youth Week is an annual international event that celebrates the value, diversity and positive contributions young people make in their communities.

Organizers say the public is invited to stop by The LINC throughout the week for free drop-in programming and special events each day.

All activities take place at The LINC on Old Island Highway unless otherwise noted.

The week kicks off Friday, May 1 with a skate and scooter competition and a Battle of the bands.

There is also an Extreme Rec Night on the schedule, along with the Gnarly Spring Craft Fair and more.
