Youth Climate Corps hosted the Vancouver Launch Event on January 27, at the David Suzuki Foundation headquarters to underline its new chapter in Vancouver.


The event had a successful turnout welcoming incredible people to get to network and build connections with community climate leaders.


The number of participants exceeded expectations. Some highlights from the event are the inspiring speech from Attorney General Niki Sharma, Alumni Kate Watt, and MLA Brittny Anderson, City Councilor Adriane Carr, and the overall positive reception and people learning about Youth Climate Corps. It was also a great occasion where we all deepened our relationships and created new connections while sharing vision and ideas. Finally, Sam Kutyauripo, YCC Vancouver Program Coordinator "It feels good to be part of such an amazing team. YCC is definitely making its mark in Vancouver and l am excited to see what awaits us in the upcoming months."


Thank you for your participation and for continuously co-creating climate solutions, and a huge thank you to the David Suzuki Foundation for hosting the event.

We are committed to maintaining and growing respectful relationships in every region where we work.

 

YCCBC recognizes that colonization has deeply disrupted Indigenous Peoples’ relationships with their lands, communities, and cultural practices. We understand that the climate crisis is rooted in ongoing systems of colonialism and resource extraction—systems that became possible through the dispossession of Indigenous Peoples from their homelands.

We believe that Indigenous sovereignty is essential to building just futures and liveable worlds. YCCBC is committed to listening, learning, and walking in solidarity with Indigenous communities and to supporting Indigenous-led climate action across the province.

ABOUT US
