More than 400 students and teachers gathered at Yale Secondary for the 2026 BC Student Leadership Conference. Participants came from across British Columbia and from communities in Toronto, Saskatchewan and Quebec.
The event brought together speakers, workshops, community service and conversations between students. Participants had opportunities to exchange ideas they could bring back to their own schools.
Hosting the conference gave Abbotsford students a chance to learn alongside peers from different communities and reflect on what student leadership can look like in everyday school life.
