In late April, 10 young WILD Outside participants walked through the woods around Clair Lake in Waterloo, Ontario looking for trash.
2023-05-10
Despite the crisp and unpredictable weather of a late April weekend the youth set off with bright red plastic bags, laughing as they ducked under branches and dodged mud puddles. I attended the event in the Kitchener/Waterloo area to help clean up Clair Lake’s shoreline and to meet a few of the participants. The cleanup is intended to celebrate Earth Day and honour the birthday and memory of the late Angela Rehhorn, a victim of the 2019 Ethiopian Airline crash. Similar private events were held across Canada in 17 cities.

Shortly after Russia invaded and occupied parts of Ukraine in 2022, 15-year-old Ukrainian Yaroslav Drukarenko arrived in St. John’s, Newfoundland. While he and his family were staying at a hotel and figuring out their next steps, he heard about the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s WILD Outside program. He went to his first event—a hut-building exercise—within his first two weeks of being in the country. He was hooked. For the rest of the year, he didn’t miss a single WILD Outside event.
