Two excellent youth leadership opportunities available as part of the Canada 150 celebration year. Please note the deadlines and pass on through your chains and out to Corps/Squadrons and into our community as quickly as possible. A fantastic opportunity that should not be overlooked.

Good day,

1. Attached you will find information related to two leadership opportunities available to youth aged 14-19 and 21-30 years. Experiences Canada (http://experiencescanada.ca/150/ ), through their Canada150&Me initiative, is offering youth the opportunity to participate in youth forums regionally and nationally and to act as chaperone and mentor to those youth participating in the forums. A quick overview of each of the opportunities is as follows:

Youth Forum (14-19 years): Experiences Canada 150&Me is a unique series of regional youth forums to be held across Canada in the spring of 2017 culminating in Ottawa the week before Canada Day. Youth will have a chance to travel to Winnipeg, Vancouver, Montreal, or Halifax for a week-long visit filled with action, conversations, tours and community engagement activities. More information on how to register and apply is available at www.experiencescanada.ca/150 . Submission deadline: February 1st, 2017.

Youth Ambassador (21-30 years): Experiences Canada is seeking 16 Canadians, aged 21-30, to play a leadership role as a 150&Me Youth Ambassador. They will chaperone and mentor the 150&Me project participants as they travel across Canada’s regions and return to the national capital. All the information related to application process, etc is available online. Application deadline: December 30, 2016.
