Youth Climate Corps BC strives to envision and realize a fair, just, and livable future.

What's the Courtenay YCC team been up to this week? From a successful broom bash at the headwaters of Morrison Creek to planning an upcoming Pride event and planting and weeding in community gardens, the team has been learning new skills while making a positive impact in their community.

The Squamish team has had an awesome week out in the community! They hosted a free bike tune-up station in celebration of BC Go By Bike Week and took part in the community-favourite Re-use-It Fair as part of the District of Squamish’s Zero Waste Events Initiative. Stay tuned for more!

We were thrilled to welcome Gord Johns, MP, for a visit with our Courtenay YCC team this week. The team spent the day alongside Millard Piercy Watershed Stewards, helping to monitor local salmon populations and learn more about watershed health in the region.

The YCC Squamish team had the incredible opportunity to tour Alice Lake Provincial Park with Talaysay Tours. It was a great way to kick off the season, and we’re grateful for the knowledge shared about Indigenous land stewardship, local history, and the impacts of climate change. www.talaysay.com

This week in Ottawa, Youth Climate Corps BC centred connection. We’re grateful for the time and engagement of leaders like Senator Mary Coyle, MP Bruce Fanjoy, MP Brendan E. Hanley and MP Gord Johns who are helping shape the future of climate and workforce development in Canada. #youthclimatecorps

This week, YCCBC had the opportunity to engage with federal leaders and partners on how we move from climate ambition to implementation. A big thank you to MP Shannon Miedema and Will Greaves for making this event possible.
