The BC Campus Climate Network

We began as SYC's Provincial Action Committee (PAC), and have narrowed our focus to create campaigns centred around Climate Change. As the BC Campus Climate Network, we are students from across the province that have come together to support each other and inspire our schools to generate solutions to the climate crisis, while reducing our impact on the problem.

We meet in person once each semester to forge friendships and share ideas, knowledge, resources, and strategize collectively. We talk every 2-4 weeks via teleconference call to stay up to date, offer support to each other, and move our provincial campaigns and working groups forward. Interested in getting involved? We're always looking for new people and new schools to join in and lend their voice! Contact bc(at)syc-cjs.org.
