The Mississippi Valley Field Naturalists are pleased to once again sponsor two students to attend this action packed weekend from September 23-25, 2022.
What is it?
The Youth Summit brings together about 100 students in grades 9-12 from across Ontario to learn about the variety of nature in our province and positive solutions to conservation and environmental issues. For 2022, Ontario Nature will offer a unique cross-cultural event planned and run by Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth leaders from across Ontario. This year’s summit is planned to be an in-person weekend, if COVID permits.
Some highlights to look forward to at the 2022 Summit:
• Compelling, interactive workshops and activities
• A keynote presentation by a high‐profile speaker
• Meeting diverse young leaders with similar interests from across Ontario!
