AI is calling up your LC!

AI is calling up your LC but not ours :P It' s okay, we met Mairi when she was here at NLDC.

On the side note, I'm going to 59th International Congress in Istanbul, Turkey! I, along with 9 other LCP, NDT and MC across the country will represent Canada in IC 2007! WOOT!

IC is the first AIESEC conference and has continued the tradition every year organizing by different countries. IC is a 10 days intense conference which you will be able to meet AIESECer across the whole world!! Although IC is only available for LCP, NDT and MC, other members in the LC can also have the chance to meet AIESECer across the whole world through the parallel conference called YouCan! (http://www.youcan2007.org/).

Where IC is hosted by LC Istanbul, YouCan! is hosted by LC Bursa. All of the delegates of these 2 conferences will meet together in the opening plenary and Global Village. One of our LC memeber, Andreas Erdepresser whom orginally form AIESEC Austria will be attending YouCan! as well...

I can't wait to meet all these AIESECer across the whole and bring all these exciting news and traditions back to our LC!
