The Mayor’s Committee for Children & Youth (MCCY) was established in 1998 by the Mayor of the City of Dryden. A universal recreation committee was formed to address financial barriers for children and youth to participate in local recreational activities. Since it’s formation, the committee has helped 8,000 children access cultural and recreational activities in the area. In January 2017, the MCCY changed their name to Making Connections for Children and Youth and is now partnered with FIREFLY
