Another Successful HOPE Conference in the Books!

Thank you to everyone who made HOPE’s 2025 Parenting Conference such a meaningful and impactful gathering, bringing parents, professionals, and community members together for a memorable day of learning, inspiration, and connection.

Held on May 3, HOPE’s annual signature event welcomed a diverse and engaged group of attendees, all united by a shared commitment to supporting parents and guardians navigating the challenges of raising teens and young adults. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this day possible: our dedicated organizers, engaged participants, generous donors, and valued community partners and friends.

A special thank you goes to our 2025 Conference Sponsor, GreenShield, whose support helped bring the event to life. We are also deeply grateful to the many donors who contributed to our silent auction—especially WestJet, for their generous donation of a pair of round-trip tickets.

We were honoured to welcome an exceptional lineup of presenters: Dr. Brad Reedy, Dr. Carmen Lalonde, and Karleigh Darnay, each of whom offered insights that informed, uplifted, and inspired.

From expert talks to meaningful peer connections and everything in between, the day embodied HOPE’s mission: helping other parents everywhere.

Stay tuned for details about HOPE Conference 2026—and thank you again to everyone who helped make this year’s gathering so special!

"We still have issues, but we are managing and I feel so much lighter, freer, and—dare I say it?—hopeful."
