"Fossil fuels are fanning the flames of this crisis. Expansion must stop. More coal, oil and gas will lead to a more combustible future. Unless we act – to protect people and tackle the root cause of the crisis – the dangers will become deadlier still.” - UN Secretary-General António Guterres.

We just sent an open letter to Premier Eby & the BC NDP signed by more than a dozen former BC-based NDP MLAs, MPs, Indigenous leaders, labour & community leaders. The letter expresses serious concerns about governmental backsliding on climate action. Read the letter: bit.ly/4vvJHfZ #bcpoli

"The delayed roll-out means we are going through another summer without YCC placements, despite brutally high youth unemployment, an urgent need to deploy renewable power & to retrofit buildings, and yet another summer of climate-induced extreme weather events."

Last November's federal budget said a YCC would commence with the 2026 fiscal year (which started April 1). It was the only climate bright spot in an otherwise dismal budget. We are now more than a quarter into that fiscal year with no YCC program launch and no details have been forthcoming.

Where is Carney’s promised Youth Climate Corps?

“Every day this pilot is delayed is another day young people are denied meaningful work, communities lose desperately needed climate resilience, & public trust is eroded. It’s a stark reminder that this govt has chosen to leave young Canadians behind when they should be investing in our future”
