Young Workers Leadership Retreat

Loon Lake Lodge and Retreat Centre, Maple Ridge — September 6–8, 2023

Join us as our wildly popular event for young workers returns in a whole new location! If you're a young worker interested in taking on a leadership position in the labour movement, this is your chance to develop the skills that will help you on your journey.

You'll be one of just 50 young workers delving into your own styles of leadership and identifying areas for growth. You'll:

  • take the acclaimed Be More Than A Bystander training
  • participate in team- and trust-building activities throughout the retreat
  • developing a broad range of leadership skills, such as organizing and active allyship to build more equitable and inclusive workplaces
  • garner a better understanding of where you are and where you'd like to see yourself to achieve your goals.

Registration has now closed. See you there!

Reminder:

All transportation to and from Loon Lake is via our chartered buses. Personal vehicles will not have access to the retreat. We have arranged two pickup-and-dropoff locations for retreat participants:
