- What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
- I am very passionate about the conservation of our waterways and our oceans, as well as pollution and sustainable living.
- What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
- I hope to learn more about conservation of the environment, meet new people, learn more and challenge myself, be happy and have tons of fun.
- Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
- My parents had a big impact on my love for conservation. I spent most of my childhood outdoors with them, hiking or on the lake. They taught me to really appreciate the environment and everything that lives in it and that stuck with me through everything that I do.

- I would sit down with Xiuhtezcatl Martinez, an indigenous climate activist and Youth Director of Earth Guardians, a global youth-led environmental movement.
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.
