arms around the shoulders of the person next to them, and sing along. This is often another emotional moment for most. The final day consists of the final skillbuilding session, two meals, and a closing ceremony after lunch. The closing ceremony consists of more speeches, usually a video or slide show of pictures and video of the weekend, and is followed by a barbecue. The closing ceremonies are fraught with emotion as people have become very close and have shared many experiences that one typically wouldn't with new friends. After closing ceremonies, conference is officially over, and people leave soon after. PC and CC usually stay an extra day or two to assist with clean-up and with any final tasks that may be required. Regional conferences Regional conferences are styled after the Provincial Conference, with many of the same activities occurring at both. The major difference is that regional conferences are on a much smaller scale (they can have anywhere from 12 to 500 attendees, depending on the region), and they take place over one night as opposed to three. Activities at regional conferences can vary. For instance, at certain conferences, there may not be a dance, while there may not be a talent show on others, all depending on individual region's resources. Regional cabinet organizes and runs their conference, and PC and CC attend all regional conferences to better assist in planning the Provincial Conference. In the past, regional conferences have occurred in late Winter, although in recent years they have been moved to late Autumn to better space out the conferences with the Provincial Conference. Typically, regional conferences take place at a public high school in the region. There are six of these each year. Metro, Strait, Chignecto, Sou-West, Valley, and Cape Breton-Victoria.
