CHLY 101.7 FM: Youth Climate Corps recap first summer in Courtenay

The YCCBC Courtenay team was recently featured by CHLY 101.7 FM, a non-profit campus–community radio station based in Nanaimo. The piece highlights the team’s first season in Courtenay, their partnerships with local organizations, and their hopes for continued funding to grow the program.

The feature includes an interview with Mikasa Quaife, Program Lead for the Courtenay team, who shared reflections on the team’s impact and the importance of creating meaningful green jobs for youth:

"Quaife shared that it is significant to create these employment opportunities in a time of extreme youth unemployment rates across Canada, and particularly in B.C. Additionally, by increasing the capacity of local communities, the YCC enables youth to find meaningful work in their own communities rather than having to move or commute to bigger cities."
