- What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
- Living on Manitoulin Island has taught me the importance of preserving Canadian wildlife and protecting our water. I’ve come to understand how extremely vital they both are in so many aspects of our daily lives.
- What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
- I want to be a part of the Canadian Conservation Corps because of the knowledge and skills I will gain and I’m excited to be a part of and meet such an amazing team. I am most excited to be able to tell friends and family about the entire experience with the CCC.
- Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
- My interest in conservation comes from my caring nature and my love of Turtle Island.
- If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
- I think would enjoy having a conversation with Erin Brockovich about her work. I would like to hear from her journey and any advice she would have.
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.
