The focus of the event this year is centred on youth health and wellbeing.

The Health and Wellness Trade show will feature active living demonstrations, workshops, and a chance to receive a complimentary paint ball pass.

A highlight of the event is the Winds of Change Recognition Awards Ceremony. Seven awards will be presented during lunch to individuals and organizations that contribute to our collective goal of a healthy and safe environment for our children and families.
