- What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
- The issue that bothers me the most is the use of all the plastic in the world. It boggles my mind that people today are still using plastic bags at the grocery store. I think everyone should return their empty recyclables as well.
- What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
- My expectations going into this is that it will be rewarding, it will help fulfill my love of nature, protecting the environment. It will be physically and mentally challenging but I am ready to tackle it! I hope to have a lot of fun.
- Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
- I think I was self-inspired. I always had a passion for nature in any capacity. I have always had a big heart for social justice and making the world a cleaner, safer place for everyone to enjoy.
- If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
- Being the radical environmentalist and humanitarians I am, I would be honoured to sit down with David Suzuki because he’s a proud Canadian doing amazing work for the world and beyond. To me he makes science and nature more interesting.
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.
