The Lithuanian Youth Association of Canada – KLJS is planning an exciting event on Saturday September 23. The annual general meeting (suvažiavimas) will take place at Resurrection Parish in Toronto, with a Eurobash in the evening.
In the morning, the AGM will welcome keynote speakers Ambassador of Lithuania Darius Skusevičius and Joris Meiklejohn, who will be speaking on the importance of youth advocacy and youth organizations.
