- What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
- Anything to do with protecting and conserving forests and the plants and animals that reside within them is important to me.
- What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
- I expect to make many lifelong friends, gain valuable experience and have a lot of fun while learning a great deal. I expect to challenge myself and succeed.
- Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
- My dad who is passed away always taught my brother and I from a young age to be interested in nature. We spent many weeks in Haliburton Forest Wildlife Reserve learning all we could about nature and getting to know the forest on a spiritual level.
- If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
- Other than my dad it would be David Suzuki. He has always been an inspiration to me and I feel he has helped the earth in many ways.
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.
