The 2025 UELAC Conference Committee is pleased to announce that the 2025 UELAC CONFERENCE will be held in Saint John NB, July 10th-13th,2025. The conference will be hosted at the Delta Hotel in downtown Saint John beside the harbour.

Parrtown was located at the mouth of the Saint John River in Nova Scotia, Western Nova Scotia with a population of some 6,000. Parrtown welcomed 14,000 Loyalist refugees. It was renamed Saint John in 1785 when this new British Colony of New Brunswick was created. Saint John is the entrance point of New Brunswick’s Loyalist story.

Some of the highlights will be guest speakers Dr. Leah Grandy and Loyalist Trails contributor Stephen Davidson. There will be tours of Trinity Anglican Loyalist church, the Old Loyalist cemetery, The Black Loyalist History Centre, and the Loyalist House. The Gala Dinner will feature speaker and newly appointed honorary fellow Dr. Bonnie Hoskins. We will cap off the Conference with a Drumhead church service at Trinity Church with DeLancey’s Brigade.

There will be free time to tour downtown Saint John to take in the stores, restaurants, markets, the container village of artisans on the newly renovated harbour front. Details concerning registration will be announced soon, so mark your calendars now and join us for a great summer conference!
