Earlier this month, YCCBC's Senior Organizer, Abbey Piazza, attended both the BC Building Trades Convention and the Columbia Institute's High Ground Forum. These events brought together the province's building trades professionals and public policymakers, respectively.

Abbey’s participation allowed YCCBC to strengthen its presence in the building trades sector, advocate for climate-resilient workforce development, and engage in conversations about equitable job opportunities in a changing economy.

We are always excited to foster new connections and deepen collaborations with exciting organizations across BC. This year has brought so much growth and opportunity for our team, and we are grateful to continue advancing our mission of integrating climate action into a variety of jobs while ensuring that young people have access to sustainable, well-paying careers.

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.

ABOUT US
