Watch the videos below to see how the 30 minute (Fraser Academy) and 1 hour (Killarney Secondary) presentations went. The interactions with the youth were priceless and endearing. These presentations focused on hope and action and incorporated content from Al Gore's Climate Reality Project, GreenSeeds Music Society, and the citizen-driven BlueDot Movement.
The main topics covered were:
- What climate change is
- Who the David Suzuki Foundation is
- What the DSF is doing, and
- What you can do

What does the future hold for this project? Hopefully, more presentations at schools and an increased team of dedicated and passionate volunteers to make more Impact! We need everyone, everywhere, doing everything all of the time! We want to inspire everyone to take more action in caring for nature.
