What happens when you take 150 students away from their phones, pads and screens, to talk about the future? Magic.
This was the vision of The Honourable Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia, when she created Stewards of the Future, an innovative conference bringing young people from all over BC together to talk about issues, the environment, the economy and the road ahead. The conference was held at Pearson College, a wooded campus on the idyllic shores of Vancouver Island near Sooke, BC. Participants got a chance to take an eco tour of Race Rocks Marine Park, watch stars from the hilltop observatory and absorb inspiration and information from an amazing group of speakers and mentors.
Green Deal blogger Lorne Craig (yours truly) was on hand to speak on a panel about Corporate Responsibility, and share the London Drugs recycling message.
London Drugs was incredibly proud to sponsor this event, and if this group of students are indicative of who will be stepping into leadership, we are in good hands.
Am happy that big business is spearheading environmental watch and
protection! I say, Mabuhay! and Salamat! to the participants
