National Conferences 1921-Today


SCM Conference 1924 versus 2005

Ever since our first conference in 1921, SCM National Conferences have been a great way to tap into the energies of the movement, and to re-energize it at the same time.

The following is a list of the last 15 years of National Conferences in SCM Canada. Warning: Some may invoke memories that make you either cringe or be filled with a yearning nostalgia. (Codenames are folk-derived and not official!)
