Description of Programs

Lead On is a 10-week youth leadership program that was created to support youth to develop their skills, networks, experiences, and better integrate into the Canadian environment.

Youth Greening virtual was an environmental education and

Awareness program. The program's goal was to educate youth (ages 10-16) on

environmental issues such as climate change and teach youth how they can contribute to creating a more sustainable future and a healthier environment through everyday

habits. This included learning about daily habits, community involvement, and urban

greening. Topics covered:

• Climate Change & Adaptation

• Urban Beekeeping & Importance of Pollinators

• Urban Forests & Green Spaces

• Zero-Waste Movement & Low Impact Habits

• Wellness, Health & The Environment
