RYLA 2016 is set for May 12th-15th in Canmore, Alberta, which coincides with the District Conference. This, as I'm sure you can imagine, presents some fantastic opportunities for both Rotary and RYLA. This year's theme for RYLA is Ignite Your Spark. Through this weekend, our goal is to have participants realize and nurture their leadership potential, so  at the end of the weekend they are empowered to create change through leadership in their communities. 
 
The weekend will include presentations by incredible speakers. Some of our presenters this year are Alison Springer, who brings an energetic perspective on the importance of surrounding oneself with the right people, Cory Johnson who speaks about his own personal experience about how he did not let his cerebral palsy hold him back from creating change and living his life, and Dino Mariani, who speaks about overcoming tragedy and being the best version of oneself while following one's passion. In addition to these amazing speakers, the weekend will also include an Eco Journey, a set of dynamic and engaging team-building exercises. The weekend will also be an opportunity to create memories, and form friendships and connections that will positively change the lives of the attendees. 
 
The price has remained the same at $500, and registration is easily filled out online. We will follow up with waiver forms, etc. upon receiving the registration for the participants. 
 
Registration Deadline: April 15th
Cost: $500/student
