Sun West delegates present to Board about CSLC

On December 17, the students that the Sun West Board of Education sponsored to attend the 2024 Canadian Student Leadership Conference (CSLC) in Haliburton, Ontario, made a presentation to the Board at their regular meeting. The Sun West Board of Education has been sponsoring or subsidizing sending Sun West students to go to the CSCL since 2009.

The 2024 CSLC was October 5-8 and included pre-conference activities in Toronto followed by the full conference at a summer camp near Haliburton.

The nine students and three advisors reviewed all the conference activities with the Board members and identified many personal highlights. This included a dynamic line up of speakers and thought-provoking and skill-building workshops. Students enjoyed the incredible energy of over700 delegates from across Canada and the many motivational activities and events.

The Students demonstrated the Saskatchewan Cheer that they helped develop for CSLC and that all Saskatchewan delegates chanted as they entered during the CSLC Opening Ceremonies. They also led the Board members in the “Hey Baby” song that was sung throughout the conference.

The students thanked the Board members for their support and Board Chair Michele Whitfield and Director of Education Vicki Moore indicated that the students had shown how worthwhile sending them to the conference had been.
