And if anything, the one thing they need to get from these conferences, is the courage to do it." Using stories from his own high school experience, and from his travels across North America, Thibodeau had all the students laughing, while also showing them the benefits of setting an example to follow. "The only person we can control is ourselves," said Thibodeau. "And that's my challenge to them today. Be an example of care for others to follow." Besides the workshops and Thibodeau's presentation, the youth attending the conference were also treated with a prerecorded message from comedian Fraser Young, of Much Music's Video on Trial fame. Also, throughout the course of the day, the students were able to view numerous information booths set up by such groups as the Halton Regional Police Department and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), among others. At the end of the day, the students returned to their own schools ready to become leaders amongst their peers and in their community. For everyone involved, the success of the conference was overwhelming. "I think they (the HRYAC) have done a great job," said Johnston. "It's a perfect venue to get their thoughts on the table, and for government and educators, even the police services that are here today to listen and get an idea of what's on their mind."
