Sign For Our Kids’ letter to the BC Education Minister in support of strong climate education policy
Are you an individual based in BC or member of an organization working in the environment or education sector? For Our Kids ( a parent-led volunteer network driven to take climate action for our kids, grandkids and future generations) invites you to sign on to a letter to BC Education Minister Lisa Beare calling on the BC government to commit to supporting critical climate education policy now and safeguarding against fossil fuel influence in BC schools. Read the open letter here. Please add your name and/or organization HERE to show your support before June 27th. For Our Kids will deliver the letter to Minister Beare at the end of June. Come join us for the evening at David Thompson Secondary library for an information session and discussion around some of the challenges of parenting following the tragedy of April 26th. There will be coffee/tea, discussion, and resources available! We will explore and provide some support around questions you may have as caregivers. You may wonder… Looking for a fun, hands-on summer experience for your child? The UBC Farm still has a few spaces available in their popular summer camps, Farm Wonders (ages 6–9) and Forest Wonders (ages 9–12)!
Led by experienced educators, these camps invite kids to explore the outdoors, get their hands dirty in the garden, and learn where their food comes from, all in a supportive and exciting natural setting. Campers will spend their days immersed in nature, discovering plants, insects, and ecosystems while building confidence and curiosity through outdoor play and learning. It’s a great opportunity for children to connect with the environment and make new friends along the way. If you’re still looking for a unique and enriching summer activity for your child, these UBC Farm camps might be just the thing!
