Canadian teen digital wellness festival Rally has signed a multi-year partnership with Bell Let’s Talk.
Rally was started in 2025 by Brigitte Truong and Keith Wallace and produced in partnership with events company MCI. Returning to Meridian Hall for its second year on October 14, the event is aimed at promoting positive tech use among teens by bringing together students, teachers, expert speakers and other partners for discussions and other interactive experiences.
In total, Rally is expecting to bring together more than 3,000 people at this year’s event, up from around 2,500 last year. Rally says 57 per cent of students who attended said the event changed how they think about their phones and social media, while 82 per cent of teachers noted that it sparked discussions back in the classroom.
Ahead of the October festival, Rally is also launching The Honest Generation, a five-month series backed by Bell Let’s Talk. The series features Toronto high school students talking about their experiences of growing up online. The first episode, which premieres today at 11 a.m. ET on Rally’s Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook pages, focuses on a Grade 12 student, with new episodes being released weekly thereafter.
More information on Rally pre-registration for educators, tickets and other updates can be found on Rally’s website.
