Speakers

Building Connections through Storytelling was an event focused on showing youth how
important storytelling can be in their lives. This hybrid event at University of Waterloo was CCA-
Canada’s first in-person event in almost 3 years. The event began with an introduction to CCA-
Canada and a brief demonstration of Arka Dhyana Intuitive Meditation. The event was filled
