June has been a month of remarkable progress and new beginnings for YCCBC. As the summer season blooms, we have been busy cultivating our initiatives and fostering growth within our community. In this issue, you will find updates about YCCBC Youth Committee, the introduction of a new team member, a moment taken for the Celebration of Indigenous People’s Day, highlights of Wildsight's programs in the West and East Kootenay working on wildfire forest mitigation, the beginning of YCCBC Squamish, green opportunities, and much more!


 
 
 

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 

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.
