Dear Delegate,

The Organizing Committee of the Western Regional Conference 2012 (WRC 2012) welcomes you to Vancouver, British Columbia! We are excited to host you in our beautiful city this year, and we hope you enjoy the wonders of Vancouver!

For AIESECers who recently joined this Fall, this conference is truly the best way to discover what AIESEC is all about. For some of you, it may just be one of the many conferences you’ve been to. However, every conference brings in a new experience and perspective, so come with an open mind and enjoy your time at WRC 2012!

So, are you ready to take the challenge? WRC 2012 is going to be one of the most memorable conferences you will ever attend. You have three days and three nights to create lasting relationships, develop your personal and professional skills, push yourself outside of your comfort zone, and have the time of your life with amazing people!

Looking forward to seeing you in Vancouver! Because the WEST is definitely the BEST!

Western Regional Conference 2012 | LC Challenge!

Since WRC 2012 lands on the Thanksgiving weekend, we decided to focus the last challenge on the thought of giving to others! Please bring your non-perishable items such as:

• canned meat• canned fish• tinned beans or pasta in sauce & meats• macaroni & cheese dinners• More: http://www.richmondfoodbank.org/donations.shtml

You can also bring money, as $1 equals to 2 cans! Please bring it on first day of the conference at registration.

LC with the most cans will receive 30 points, 2nd place will receive 20 points, and 3rd place will receive 15 points. “Most cans” means the average of how many cans a LC bring per member.

So if “LC ABC” brought 50 cans and there are 25 members from “LC ABC”, then it will be 50 cans/25 members = 2 cans/member. If “LC DEF” brought in 60 cans and 20 members, then that will be 3 cans/member. SO “LC DEF” WINS!

Let’s see who is the most giving LC of Western Canada!
