Environmental Seminar
It has been a whirlwind of a week for one of our youths in their orientation to the role of Climate Motivator for the summer. On Tuesday, July 4th, Kyla Mills began learning and preparing to work towards some outcomes that she is eager for the broader community of faith to consider supporting and participating.
Next week on Wednesday evening, July 19th at 7pm, she invites anyone interested from neighboring faith communities to sign up and attend an environmental seminar. She hopes you will come join her for a discussion about Climate Justice and the United Church of Canada.
Please review the poster attached for more information and register by clicking “HERE.” To learn more about this Canada Summer Jobs funded UCC ministry visit this link “HERE“.
There will be a second seminar opportunity in August, watch for this announcement later in July. Kyla will also be recording her presentation and making this available on her YouTube Channel.
Please email her with any questions or thoughts at kmills.motivateclimate@gmail.com.
