CAMERON
I am interested to learn and experience how young people can catalyze radical change in our current systems. I am passionate about centring youth voices, and specifically BIPOC youth voices, within political spaces and policy and I hope that BUILD will be an opportunity to strategize how to better achieve this. I also hope to learn about how I can translate my experience with grassroots advocacy and work with non-profits into the political sphere and influence policy while continuing to centre community-led solutions, restorative justice, and climate action in all my work.
CAMERON’S EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING FOCUSED ON CLIMATE ACTION & ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY:
- Joined a canvassing drive at community events across Winnipeg, and connected with stakeholder groups to promote the need for climate action in the lead up to the Manitoba provincial election
- Supported Consider Climate MB with to make climate a top priority with the newly elected provincial govt. and to ensure environmental impact is part of decision making considerations
- Creating accessible workshops and training opportunities for Manitobans to engage with climate action provincially and educating policymakers about climate concerns in Manitoba
