Over the past year we have been asking every class that comes to YouthLink Calgary, What’s Your Issue?
The kids get to choose between
- Substance abuse
- Domestic Violence
- Online Safety
- Gangs/Bullies
We’ve collected all the results and put them into a google map so we can see what kids from different parts of the city say their major issue is.

Each pin on the map represents a school that has visited YouthLink Calgary in the past year. The pins colour tells you which issue the students there thought impacted them the most. You can also click on an individual pin to see the school name and the percentage of votes.
Once you have opened the map, use the check boxes on the left to toggle extra information like Federal, Provincial, or Municipal political ridings.
Although this is by no means a scientific study, it is interesting to note that the large majority of students feel that drugs is the predominant issue.
We will continue to update this map as schools return this year, and as new schools visit us to show what the grade six students of Calgary say is their issue.
Can you think of other information that should be on the map? Leave us a comment below and let us know what you think.
