We are also inviting stories and presentations from student leaders and student leadership groups on topics such as those listed above or stories of being change-makers in creating healthy, safe and welcoming school communities. Past presentations have included students sharing their community projects, like Lacombe High School's EcoVision and The Joy4All Project from Calgary.
