Inspired by YFC rallies in Chicago, our roots in Canada began with hosting large youth rallies in Toronto at Massey Hall. These became some of the largest youth gatherings in the world at the time. Since then, YFC\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit has led us through a series of strategic shifts that clearly exemplifies our motto: \u201cAnchored to the Rock but geared to the times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since launching in 2021 YFC Moncton has developed to include a sports program, neighbourhood-focused church partnerships, and student leadership events equipping students to lead
