Venue: Victoria British Columbia
Details:

Join the child and youth care professionals of the world in August 2003 for an International Child and Youth Care Conference set in the garden beauty of the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia. The combination of the campus venue and the conference setting with its harbour front, British Empire charm, bustling arts community and Asian town all mingle to offer a conference experience you may wish to extend into a vacation.

We are very pleased with the diversity and representation of submissions to the Call for Presentations and Papers. To accommodate requests for more time, a deadline extension has been granted to December 15, 2002. Confirmations by January 15, 2003. (Submit by electronic form or download a PDF form, both available at the conference web site: www.promiseintopractice.ca.) A description of conference streams is also available through the main page.

We are pleased to announce Senator Landon Pearson as our conference patron. In addition to duties as a Senator, Landon Pearson advises the Minister of Foreign Affairs on children's rights. She co-chaired Out From the Shadows, which brought together 54 youth delegates from Canada, the USA, and Latin America including the Caribbean, to tell their tragic stories as youth exploited in the sex trade. Senator Pearson also chaired a Federal Committee Against Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth and, in 1997-98, co-chaired the Special Joint House Committee on Child Custody and Access.
