The City of Vancouver, one of the most livable cities in the world by international standards,
is home to over 600,000 residents. Although our City has overcome many challenges in the years before today, we have yet to solve some of the social, environmental and economic problems that are still existent in our communities.

"The Crossroads Conference will bring together the bright, young and old minds together to dialogue for change."

The Conference is the first project of its kind, with a vision to foster reciprocal, intergenerational learning between senior secondary and post-secondary students, skilled trade workers and professionals who influence the City of Vancouver today.

The approach is to provide exclusive opportunities for students to engage in dynamic dialogue with adults, who are experienced in their fields of occupation or expertise, concerning current social, environmental and economic issues in our City.

It is scheduled for Saturday, February 28, 2009 and it will be held on the campus of the University of British Columbia, specifically at the newly built Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and the Hebb Theatre.

The Conference will bring together over 400 of the leading experts, decision makers and young minds, all of whom have one thing in common - they want to see and make a difference in Vancouver.

You can register in December 2008.
