There are three categories:
New Product – Winning team receives $1,500.00 cash prize
New Service - Winning team receives $1,500.00 cash prize
Summer Venture – Winning team receives $1,000.00 cash prize
The “Co-operatives, Youth and Communities” conference co-hosted by Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Co-operatives and the Advocate Youth Services Co-operatives has been postponed to a later date. I will keep you up to date.
CONGRATULATIONS ATLANTIC CANADA, the David Foster Foundation (DFF) was presented a cheque for $1.6 million as the Crescendo charity gala and concert event held last weekend in Halifax. The David Foster Foundation is a national charity that helps families by paying for non-medical expenses for children who need life saving organ transplants.
Contest (Trivia?)
The first person to post the answer on the ‘Atlantic Co-operative Youth Leadership’ Facebook group will win a 100% recycled ACYLjournal. READY? Where was the first ACYL camp held? What year? I will also give away a second journal to an Alumnus who either participated or volunteered at this event. Bonus marks for participants attending Camp Mush-a-Mush if they become members of the ACYL group.
