You Could Be Sponsored for the Ontario Nature Youth Summit!
Ontario Nature?s Youth Summit for Biodiversity has been bringing together about 100 teens for this unique youth-led summit that allows participants to develop an understanding of environmental issues and gain the inspiration and tools to take action and leadership in their communities and beyond. The weekend-long event includes guest speakers, workshops and outdoor activities that appeal to a wide variety of environmental interests.
This year?s summit is Sept. 20-22, 2019 at the YMCA Geneva Park near Orillia, Ontario. The Hamilton Naturalists? Club (HNC) will sponsor two young high schoolers, 1 boy and 1 girl (from grade 9 ? 12) from Hamilton/Burlington for the event. This means the Club will pay the youth?s $350 full cost for participation, including workshops, accommodations and meals. The youth or their family will only be responsible for their transportation to Orillia. There will be a free round trip charter bus available from a central location in Toronto.
