Peel's local MPs have toasted to a successful 2019 Youth Week, which celebrated the region's young people at a range of fun-filled events.
Mandurah MP David Templeman and Murray-Wellington MP Robyn Clarke both agreed that celebrating young people was important for the whole community.
The state government gave $5000 to Peel to assist with their Youth Week celebrations, which ran from April 13-20.
The funding was given to the Shires of Waroona, Murray, and Boddington.
In total state-wide, $60,000 was presented through their grants program. That funding went towards 50 separate events and activities.

"Youth Week provides young Western Australians with a platform for trying new experiences, building community links and just having fun," Mr Templeman said.
"Youth Week WA is a fantastic celebration of young people, for young people, by young people.
"It is a wonderful opportunity for West Australia's youth to demonstrate their skills and express their ideas, passions, and inspirations."
Ms Clarke said Youth Week was a great time to highlight and celebrate the fantastic contributions of young people to our community of Peel.
"We have some great young leaders here in Peel and I look forward to working with them in the years to come," Ms Clarke said.
"I'm looking forward to the wonderful range of Youth Festivals across Peel and sharing this celebration of young people in our community."
The 'Nurture the Now' theme for 2019 is aimed at encouraging young people and the broader community to recognise the contributions that young people make to communities across WA.
