Green Jobs and Youth - Youth Climate Corps Town Hall

End: Friday, November 15, 2024•08:00 PM
Tired of being told you have to choose between climate action, jobs, and affordability? We know that to tackle the number of issues seriously, we need to do it with the speed and scale that crises demand. We have a solution and we're eager to win it together. A Youth Climate Corps would be a federal jobs program telling every person under 35: "if you're ready to get to work mitigating emissions, adapting to climate change, and supporting in extreme weather relief, join the YCC. No one will be turned away".
Join us as we hear from speakers on the possible impact of a Youth Climate Corps. Stick around as we discuss what this program would mean for our communities.
Our speakers:
- Bianca Siem, Organizer, Youth Climate Corps Manitoba Chapter
- Melissa Dvorak, President, Winnipeg Labour Council
- Curt Hull, Program Director, Climate Change Connection
- Niall Harney, Policy Researcher, Canadian Center for Policy Alternatives
