The Canada C3 and Parks Canada ambassadors were introduced on the banks of the Lachine Canal in Montreal. Here is a memory of this meeting of passionate young Canadians.
The Canada C3 project is a 150 day journey along the three coasts of Canada, a journey that allows inspired Canadian artists and scientists to share their stories and hopes for the next 150 years of Canada. The Canada C3 ship began its journey in Toronto in July 2017, and will be finishing its voyage in Victoria by taking the North West passage.

The Parks Canada and the C3 Youth Ambassadors recently spent a day together at the Lachine Canal National Historic site in Montreal
It was an inspiring meeting of passionate young Canadians
Why do you think it's important for young people to be able to access nature?

All of our cultural practices are done up there and so

it has really helped to shape who I am as a person and to build my leadership.

One of the main messages is that Kim and I are trying to get across this summer is the aspect of diversity and inclusion
that everyone has the right to access these public spaces and everyone really should.

So you have to incorporate the fact that the cities are getting bigger and bigger.
