"My name is Madi, and I live on the traditional and unceded territory of the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc Nation.

Having lived in Kamloops my entire life, I’ve been incredibly privileged to have a variety of outdoor spaces accessible to me. I grew up hiking Peterson Creek and swimming in the Thompson Rivers, so it’s very important for me to do everything I can to ensure that future generations have these beautiful environments available to them. By joining the Kamloops Crew of YCCBC, I feel empowered to expand my understanding of how I can take tangible action against climate change, helping me to feel more in control of shaping the future of our environment."

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.

We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Energy and Climate Solutions.

ABOUT US
