Five Ways To Reduce Home Energy Use youth climate action vancouver

We are thrilled to share with you the release of our Kamloops Report, detailing the journey of the first-ever Youth Climate Corps cohort in Kamloops. This initiative, a collaboration between YCCBC, the City of Kamloops, and BCHydro, aimed to empower local youth while addressing the pressing issue of climate change.


Spanning from May to October 2023, this pilot program was a testament to the dedication and passion of our young participants. During this time, they not only worked on crucial climate action projects but also delved into topics like civic engagement and reconciliation, broadening their perspectives and skills.


One of the highlights of the program was the development and implementation of the Climate Friendly Homes Program, a significant step towards reducing emissions and fostering a more sustainable community. Additionally, the successful execution of the city bike valet served as a proof of concept, showcasing the potential for future climate initiatives in Kamloops.




We invite you to delve into the Kamloops Report and explore the inspiring stories and impactful outcomes of this pioneering YCCBC cohort. Together, let's celebrate the achievements of our young climate leaders and the bright future they are shaping for our communities.



 
 
 

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.
