FACES Education welcomed more than 600 Alberta high school students across 10 first-year FACES Challenge sessions and 5 second-year FACES Journey sessions. We were also excited to welcome a record number of FACES Service students, who returned for a third year to mentor Challenge and Journey participants. Their leadership, encouragement, and commitment to serving others enriched every session while providing them with invaluable opportunities to deepen their own learning and leadership skills.

This summer also marked an exciting milestone as FACES launched a pilot program in partnership with Sun West School Division, welcoming 20 Saskatchewan students to experience the beauty, challenge, and learning opportunities of the Rocky Mountains alongside students in the Livingstone Range School Division.

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our staff, students, parents, volunteers, and community partners. We are especially grateful to our educational partner, Livingstone Range School Division, whose ongoing collaboration continues to make the FACES experience possible.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the summer of 2026 so memorable. We can't wait to welcome both new and returning students for another incredible season in 2027.
