Introducing YCCBC Hazelton

YCCBC is thrilled to announce that, in partnership with the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition (SWCC), we have launched our first-ever program in Hazelton and its surrounding communities!

As part of this program, four local Gitxsan and Wet'suwet'en youth were hired to participate in two connected programs facilitated by YCCBC and SWCC. One program, the Junior Guide program, aims to get youth practicing their leadership skills while navigating rivers and creating meaningful community connections with the waters. Meanwhile, field interns will participate in developing innovative solutions to reduce wildfire risk, learn bioremediation techniques, and ways to utilize their field skills to support their community amidst the impacts of large-scale industrialization.

We can't wait to share more with you about this exciting new partnership!
