Free train ride to Edmonton!
Another last minute opportunity for any university students interested in campus sustainability!
The Sierra Youth Coalition (SYC) Prairies Chapter is hosting it's second annual Regional Sustainable Campuses Conference! Held at the University of Saskatchewan last year, it was a resounding success as the conference saw more than 100 post secondary students converge on Saskatoon for a weekend of education, inspiration and action. This is your chance to join in! We have some very exciting sessions on everything from Bike Advocacy to Green Building to Non Violent Direct Action. Also, Severn Cullis-Suzuki will be our Saturday keynote speaker. Everyone is welcome, and no prior experience is necessary.

What? Youth conference
When? March 13th to 15th, 2009
Where? University of Alberta Campus, Edmonton
Cost? $10 (includes meals during conference and train ride to Edmonton departing from Winnipeg March 12 and returning March 17)
How to register? Email SYCprairiesconference2009@gmail.com by Wednesday March 11th with the following info:
1) name
2) Post Secondary Institute
3) Special dietary needs and Allergies
4) which days you can attend (Fri PM, Sat, Sun)
5) if you are willing/able to billet a few out-of-town delegates*.
6) carpool/train/ride situation (for out of towners)
7) Interest in a potential Monday visit to oilsands museum in fort macmurray
Why? SYC has various chapters across Canada consisting of representatives from many post secondary institutions that work together encouraging local sustainability. This is hugely beneficial because geographical areas face similar issues locally and work together as a network of individuals (environmentalists) and collectives (organizations). The goal of this conference is to educate all interested students from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and provide them with tangible skills and opportunities to get involved in the green movement. Ultimately this conference provides them with the means to develop the knowledge and ability to work towards a more sustainable future and discover sustainable career opportunities.
* What the heck is billeting? For those who live in Edmonton, we are looking for volunteers interested in opening their homes to out-of town delegates for the Friday, Saturday and possibly Sunday nights. If you are willing and able, please include the number of people that you can take and the address of your house in your registration.
Can't wait to see you there.
