What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
Animals are my favourite part of nature, and it breaks my heart to see some of them treated so horribly. I want to do my part to conserve animals and their habitats.
What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
? I expect to learn a lot more about conservation and have a ton of fun while doing it.
Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
My grandmother always told my brother and I stories when we were kids about the animals and the relationship they have with the world and nature, just like humans do.
If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
I would sit down with Bill Gates to have coffee, because I love his story and that he is such an incredibly charitable person.

My Experience So Far

The Algonquin Adventure

Stage 1

Group 6 CCC members will be releasing their inner Canadians during a winter trip through Ontario’s Algonquin Provincial Park. The trip will build their experience over the 10 days. They will start with five days of traditional snowshoeing travel and warm camping. They will have the opportunity to camp in the cold as part of a mid-trip challenge so they are experiencing a winter expedition in a variety of ways. The final five days will feature a combination of dogsledding and snowshoeing where they will be separate for portions of the day, refining their skills in each area and coming together at the end of each day.
