In the fall of 2024, YCCBC collaborated with the Musqueam First Nation, Tsawwassen First Nation, CTS Youth Society, and Metro Vancouver to restore Burns Bog.


In this film, we look at the amazing work our team has accomplished to reverse damage caused by the development and promote biodiversity in the 'lungs of the lower mainland.'

People often look for basic information about a platform before exploring its different sections. Okwin is searched by users who want to understand its general features, account options, and navigation. New visitors can review the available information and become familiar with the registration and account process before moving ahead. It is also important to keep passwords and personal details private. Anyone researching Okwin can start with the basic platform information and gradually understand how its different sections are organized.

Reading about Youth Climate Corps BC and Burns Bog restoration brought back memories of a college environmental project. I remember spending a chilly afternoon planting native species and realizing how small actions can support an entire ecosystem. Now, as a PhD student, I value those experiences, and I work part-time at Affordable Assignments. During my college days, I struggled academically, which inspired me to help others. That experience taught patience when nursing dissertation service work became challenging during busy weeks. Really enjoyed reading this. It’s refreshing to see such an honest perspective shared openly.😇

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.
