Please join Mr. Dan Frawley from the Nipissing First Nation to learn more about the Canadian
Conservation Corps Youth Program offered by the Canadian Wildlife Federation.

The CCC seeks to first connect youth of all backgrounds aged 18 – 30 to the natural spaces in Canada
through a two–week expedition in the outdoors and then to build upon that passion by placing them
with the conservation groups doing essential work to protect, rehabilitate, and educate about important
conservation issues across the country. Finally, our participants bring their experience back home to
deliver a service project in their own communities, making a direct impact and educating others about
local causes and issues.

We’re also a barrier–free program accepting participants from a wide variety of backgrounds where pairs
of our participants complete a 3–month placement at a conservation organization, working full–time to
learn from and help with their goals. The CCC ensures that these passionate participants have all
necessary gear, accommodations, and anything else they need to be successful at their placements and
our goal is that each pair of participants provide a valuable contribution to their placement organization
during their time there while themselves gaining new perspectives, working to address environmental
issues, and the experience to begin or build a career in conservation.

The next group begins this May in Newfoundland. This group will be sea–kayaking in or near the Bay of
Exploits, dates as follows:

Stage 1: May 10th – June 2nd
Stage 2: June 12th – Sept. 3rd
Innovation Lab: Sept. 3rd – Sept. 6th

The final group in Atlantic Canada this year is in late August in Nova Scotia. This group will be sea–
kayaking amongst the LaHave Islands, dates as follows:

Stage 1: Aug. 19th – Sept. 11th
Stage 2: Sept. 18th – Dec. 10th
Innovation Lab: Dec. 10th – 13th

Information session will be held at 1 Church Street in Corner Brook on Aprill 28th, 2022 from 1:00 pm–
