It was an incredibly memorable weekend!<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>What were the highlights from this year&rsquo;s showcase?<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>The highlights of this year&rsquo;s showcase was seeing such a large group of youth from all across Ontario truly connect, get to know each other, share their art and who they are. It was the first time many youth stood up in front of a large group and performed\/talked about what makes their art special. There was one moment where a young woman stood up and sang her favourite song, the whole group was floored because none of us knew she was a singer and she was incredible.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>How was it different from last year&rsquo;s?<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>The Showcase was much different than last year, firstly because it was a two-day conference and on day one we facilitated four arts-based workshops: beading, hoop dancing, photography and mixed media. We received great feedback on these workshops; in fact we heard that the youth had new found interests in some of these workshops &#8211; as possibilities for future careers or hobbies. The next biggest different is the number of youth we had &#8211; 20 youth from southern Ontario and 20 youth from northern Ontario.
