KELOWNA - The future leaders of our community, our province and our nation will be gathering in the Central Okanagan September 23-27 to attend the 30th annual Canadian Student Leadership Conference (CSLC 2014) and we are searching for entertainment headliners. CSLC 2014 Idol is set for Thursday evening beginning at 4 p.m. in the Mary Irwin Theatre at the Rotary Arts Centre, as we search and audition for a variety of entertainers for the week-long CSLC 2014 event.

Over 25 entertainers will perform on the Irwin stage for 3 to 5 minutes with a range of talents that highlight slam poetry, hip hop, highland, contemporary and cultural dancing, a diversity of singing, musical soloists and groups, beat boxing and of course, the bagpipes!

What is at stake is a place on the main stage in front of over 1000 teachers and advisors from across Canada. Admission is free to the public and supporters.
