Encounters With Canada is a unique opportunity for Canadian teens to meet other young people from across the country, spend an adventure-filled week in the nation’s capital, check out future career options  and discover more about Canada.

Here is what some participants had to say

"After a week of laughter, meeting new friends, learning about our Canadian history and forming ties across the country, I’ve realized that this experience is one of the most valuable we young Canadians should encounter,” - Autumn Juanicotena-Heal, Richmond, BC, Journalism & Communications 2015 

"EWC is a remarkable program that gives Canada’s youth an open environment of learning and growing as individuals as well as a country. It is such a beneficial program to today’s youth that will impact them (myself included) for the rest of our lives." - Grace Turner, Calgary, Alberta, Arts & Culture 2014
