What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
The issue closest to my heart is helping preserve animals for future generations to enjoy
What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
My expectations for this adventure is to see different animals in Canada that I would not otherwise have the opportunity to see.
Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
I was inspired to get involved in conservation by TV’s Steve Irwin and Zoboomafoo. Learning about animals has inspired me to help preserve them for future generations.
If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
I would like to have tea with Steve Rinella of the Meat Eater TV show and podcast. He is very knowledgable about hunting and cooking of wild game and would be a good opportunity to learn more about the subject.

My Experience So Far

Doing the Carleton

Stage 1

CCC Group 7’s exciting14-day outdoor expedition takes place in New Brunswick’s Mount Carleton area, which is an Appalachian wilderness region located mainly within Mount Carleton Provincial Park. Using a chalet base for introduction training, the course then leads CCC members on a snowshoe expedition with snowmobile support linking a network of backcountry rustic cabins. Training will cover a range of winter outdoor living skills. The training goals relate to outdoor leadership, environmental stewardship and backcountry competencies.
