Young Canadians from across the country are gathering in Saint John over the next five days for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada’s National Youth Conference.  This is the first time the conference has been held in Atlantic Canada and is being hosted by the local Boys and Girls Club at UNB Saint John.

The conference will explore a range of important issues for youth today, including healthy living, bullying, environmental responsibility, and social activism. There will also be a keynote address on Friday by a twenty-year-old former child soldier who fled his home country of the Democratic Republic of Congo at age eleven and is now a Canadian.
