We are so proud to be part of Climate Action Network Canada!

This reflection was written by a staff member of colour that was born and raised on Treaty 1 Territory. As settlers living, working, and playing in what is currently known as Canada, it is important for YCL to reflect on the places, relationships, and privileges we hold and encourage you to reflect on your own relationship with the land. Rooted in Community is happening in Winnipeg on Saturday, November 16th from 1:30-3:30pm CT. We are inviting Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour (BIPOC) youth to join us at TakeHome BIPOC ArtHouse for a climate emotions workshop and letter writing blitz! 🌷 You can register for Rooted in Community through this link: https://bit.ly/3BApak9 🔗 We are grateful for support of Youth Harbour, The Climate Justice Organizing Hub and Climate Action MB to make this event possible! 🌱
