Portrait of youth in Canada : data report. Chapter 6, Political participation, civic engagement and caregiving among youth in Canada / by Paula Arriagada, Farhana Khanam and Yujiro Sano.: CS42-28-0001/2022-2E-PDF

Sometimes the goal is to address major social issues, while in other cases it is simply recreational.
