YC Newfoundland

YC Newfoundland (sometimes referred to as Youth Conference) is an inter-denominational Christian event held annually in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador the weekend immediately before the second Monday in the month of October. YC Newfoundland is the first branch off the original YC. It's held almost on a rotational basis in the largest centers in the province.

YC Newfoundland was first held in front of 1500 attendees at The Glacier in Mount Pearl. It has grown to attendance figures of 3000 - 3500. It is organized by a committee from Pentecostal Assemblies of Newfoundland & Labrador. The head of this group since the beginning of YC Newfoundland is Pastor Dean Brenton.

Since 2004 YC in Newfoundland and Alberta has been raising money for projects helping an orphanage in Lilongwe, Malawi called the Village of Hope. YC Malawi is an event approximately two weeks in length where teams from Canada converge on Malawi to minister in a variety of settings and locations ending with a more traditional YC celebration in Silver Striker Stadium. Attendees include all ministry teams as well as international ministry guests and thousands of Malawian youth.
