Traditionally on presentation
day, the final day of conference, delegates converged on Parliament Hill where
they met with various government, corporate and community representatives
and shared with them all that they had learned during the week. This year,
however, the Students Commission undertook Presentation Day in a slightly
different and altogether more interactive manner. In what Stoney McCart, President
of the Students Commission, called "the first ever blitz by young people on
almost every federal government department," ten teams of delegates made their
way downtown to meet with and present to a variety of federal government officials,
as well as with some non-governmental organizations - on their turf! Coming
from many sleepless hours of discussions and work, the delegates not only
developed national projects but also expressed their commitment to seeing
them through.
Over the next year the delegates, with the help of the Students Commission, will continue to work on the projects that were developed in Kemptville, and in their communities and throughout the country continue Creating Change.
