This conference changes the lives of youth. It is a great investment of time and energy as it instils in the delegates a more positive outlook on life. They come away with a belief that they can conquer any obstacle and are empowered to serve their communities.

We had an exciting conference last November at beautiful Talisman Mountain Resort and Conference Centre. We welcomed over 200 delegates (students and staff from Grades 7 to 10). Read more about its goals and expected outcomes in the Conference Brochure.

RETURNING FACES in May 2007 at Burnhamthorp Community Adult Learning Centre was stimulating and uplifting. Delegates gathered to share their successes and their learning with respect to the community service projects they implemented in their schools. Keynote speaker, Azeem Kayum offered much food for thought and inspiration to 'never give up', no matter the adversity faced. Delegates were delighted with a student created DVD about the November conference - of course most were featured in the DVD!

Please stay tuned for our upcoming conference in November 2007!
