YXE Youth Climate Committee
We, the youth climate committee, provide a platform for Saskatoon’s youth to have their voices heard and provide a place for young climate activists to collaborate. We work towards a safe, healthy future where we can all thrive. Through educational presentations, peaceful protests, and regenerative initiatives, we advocate for climate justice at a local level.
