This week in Ottawa, Youth Climate Corps BC had the opportunity to connect with leaders from across government and the climate sector.


These conversations are an important part of how we move from climate ambition to implementation.


We’re grateful for the time and engagement of leaders including Senator Mary Coyle, MP Bruce Fanjoy, MP Brendan Hanley and MP Gord Johns who are helping shape the future of climate and workforce development in Canada.


The momentum is building, and we’re excited to continue these conversations.

Solidarity Statement

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 

Youth Climate Corps BC develops the climate leaders of tomorrow by training a workforce of young people who know how to work together, communicate powerfully, and get things done on projects that contribute to climate resilience in communities across British Columbia.
