- What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
- Growing up north of Fredericton on the banks of the St. John River, I care deeply for the ecology of the river. I concern myself with things like fish populations, sewage management and pollution along the river. I also deeply care about the overall rate of deforestation on the planet.
- What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
- To gain further knowledge and worldly experience.
- Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
- The overall state of the planet inspires me to care about conservation – ongoing factors such as climate change, deforestation, pollution and loss of wildlife. These factors, along with many others, is why conservation is extremely important when attempting to conserve the ecological niche of an environment.
- If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
- It would be British adventurer Bear Grylls. His survival show Man vs Wild was my favourite growing up. In his television series he’d go to the most isolated places on earth and teach the audience how to survive. I’d love to talk to him and hear some of his craziest adventure stories.
My Experience So Far
Putting the Fun in Fundy
Stage 1
For Group 11 CCC members, the adventure begins in New Brunswick, where members set off for a paddling adventure on the Bay of Fundy. There they will practice their paddling and wilderness camp skills before setting off to kayak from Back Bay to Oak Bay, through Passamaquoddy Bay via the lower St. Croix River. Along the way the team will have the opportunity to be awe-struck by the scenery while enjoying all that Fundy has to offer.
