Taking A Stand

Justine, Cailin, Isabelle and Morgan

What’s happening in Vernon?

Justine Correia, our BC Youth Rep went with Morgan Hillis, Izzy Weber Concannon, and Cailin Correia to take a stand and meet with their local MP Colin Mayes.

They delivered almost 500 signed Fall Action cards promoting the principles of food sovereignty.

To top it off, Conservative MP Colin Mayes signed the card himself – adressed to the Prime Minister in support of the D&P Campaign.

PLUS, from January 22nd to January 24th Youth from the Nelson diocese in BC gathered together to participate in the first annual Nelson D&P Youth Rally. Youth were educated on social justice and learnt more about Development and Peace.

The weekend was a blast filled with high spirits wonderful music and food. At the Rally we also elected 2 new Diocesan Reps: Annalea Zimmer and Ollie d’Aoust who will help represent youth from the Nelson Diocese.

WOOT WOOT! The Youth Rocked the weekend – thanks everyone that came out!
