Young Writers' and Creators' Conference
YWCC 2023
École Oriole Park is honored to be home to an amazing event for budding young writers and creators! We have been host to the Annual Young Writers' and Creators' Conference for over 30 years! Notwithstanding the interruption in the COVID pandemic years, we are thrilled to have the Conference up and running again for it's 32nd year!
Grade 5 students from across Red Deer Public Schools will be invited to participate in a day filled with amazing authors, writers, artists, and creators! This year's line-up of presenters comes from a variety of backgrounds, experiences, and expertise and we are absolutely thrilled to be able to share this with the students in our District. It is events like this that can influence and inspire our students to achieve great things in areas they never knew existed or with skills they recently discovered!
