By: Sara Falconer

The status quo had better watch its back. A new generation of activists is getting ready to make some big changes, and thanks to Ottawa's 10th annual Youth Action Gathering (YAG), they'll have the skills to do it.

From July 12 to 16, the Sierra Youth Coalition (SYC) will host a very unique summer camp for 20 youth between the ages of 14 and 19 at the MacSkimming Outdoor Education Centre. YAGs are also being held in Halifax and Victoria.
