Youth Conference (Newfoundland)

Youth Conference (YC) Newfoundland 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.
