November 08, 2025⭐Localife Calgary: Survivor Conference: YACC’s 25th Celebration in the Clouds
Hi YACCer!
As many of you know, we’re headed to Calgary this weekend for our biggest Survivor Conference ever. Most of our remaining spaces are available for folks who are local to the Calgary area, as they don’t need to stay at the hotel to participate. For $100, you can join us for a weekend of amazing activities, education, and, most of all, connection. But if that fee is a barrier to us- there are ways for that to be waived. Basically- don’t be a stranger! We really hope to have you with us.
But we know for some of you, a whole Thursday to Sunday with YACC just might not fit. So, you’re invited to attend the following selected events (as few or as many as you would like) as a part of Localife Calgary programming. You are welcome to bring a supporter of a similar stage of life, but these activities are not open to children or your parents/guardians.
Saturday, November 8th
