We are thrilled to have had our program with the BC Insulators Union featured on CBC Radio's What On Earth with Laura Lynch! This recognition highlights the urgent need for climate-resilient trades and the role young people can play in building a more sustainable future.


What On Earth is dedicated to unpacking the climate crisis by exploring solutions from around the world. In their own words:

"Explore a world of solutions with host Laura Lynch and our team of journalists. We find inspiration in unexpected places, scrutinize new technologies, hold powerful people accountable and join you on the journey to fix this mess."

This feature gave us the opportunity to share how our partnership with the BC Insulators Union is helping train the next generation in energy-efficient building techniques, an essential step toward reducing carbon emissions and improving climate resilience.


By equipping young people with hands-on skills and meaningful work, we’re not only supporting their futures but also making a tangible impact on the environment. If you missed the segment, be sure to check it out and learn more about how trades can be a force for climate action!


 
 
 

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
