Want to learn more about sustainable living? Passionate about your community's future? Want to build your confidence, join a network of young leaders, and design your own sustainability project, all while traveling the length of the Fraser River?
Then the Sustainable Living Leadership Program is for you.
You journey by canoe, raft and on foot 1,400 km down the Fraser River from Mount Robson to the Pacific Ocean. You take in breathtaking scenery along the way, from ancient rainforests and grasslands, to sage brush and floodplain. You learn about food security, voluntary simplicity, stewardship and green economics. It includes team building exercises, conflict resolution, communication skills and critical thinking. You learn how to lower your ecological footprint and design a sustainability project to implement in your own community.
Camping along the banks of the Fraser, you study the fauna and flora, watersheds, ecosystems, the water cycle, resource management and discuss what a truly sustainable fishery would look like. You travel through ten of BC's fourteen biogeoclimatic zones. You engage with the RSBC's extensive network of First Nation and Non-Native Fraser River community stewards as you pass through their communities.
You will have an experience of a lifetime.
The SLLP is geared to those in fisheries, environmental education, outdoor adventure tourism and community action.
