It absolutely blows my mind at how incredible one spark of an idea can evolve and explode into a forest fire of greatness.
What started off as a burst of inspiration, stemming out of passion and love towards the world and the individuals who inhabit it, brothers and founders of Free The Children, Me to We and We Day; Marc and Craig Kielburger decided to start up what is now known as the world’s leading platform for social change.

Supported by Telus and RBC, WE DAY is a signature youth empowerment event with the hardest tickets to come by, you can’t buy tickets to WE DAY—Young people earn them by being a part of the global movement of action through giving back to the community, whether it be through volunteering or through the work they do towards social change!

It was my very first experience at WE DAY, and I can honestly say that it was one of THE most energized events that I have ever been to in my entire life.
I was seated in the box seats for media, and had a clear view of the entire arena; IT WAS FILLED UP. Schools and students from all over the lower Mainland, the island and even the Yukon made their way down for the show and boy, were they pumped and ready. When I say energized, I mean you could feel the energy in the air, plus the screams, cheers and dancing never seemed to stop throughout the event.

I got to see Orlando Bloom up close and personal (well not really, but close enough) as he shared his personal story about falling three storeys and almost losing the ability to walk. This definitely left the audience inspired to thrive everyday of life.
Some of my favourite quotes from WE DAY are by some of the speakers: Just thought I’d share this burst of inspiration-vitamins with all of you,
