Earlier this month members of the YCCBC team had the opportunity to attend the Youth Climate Fest hosted by City Hive Vancouver. City Hive's annual community gathering centred this year on youth climate action featured inspiring showcases of local youth-led climate initiatives and offered a chance for community connection.


One highlight was a workshop on climate communications led by YCCBC organizing team member Chloe Fraser. Additionally, YCCBC's South Coast Program Manager Sam Kutyauripo spoke with Anja Stajic the Permit Manager at Translink and and Renata Rovelo, the Project Manager of the climate action strategy for the Squamish Nation about their journeys to finding a climate career.



Thank you City Hive Vancouver for this experience.

 
 
 

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.
