A large group of youth gathered in Ottawa over the weekend for Powershift, an environmental and climate justice conference. This by and for youth conference provided trainings and sessions on a wealth of topics including the green economy, political lobbying, indigenous solidarity, and campus sustainability, to name a few. As part of this conference, the Canadian Youth Delegation going to the climate talks in Copenhagen met to train and strategize and meet with ministers and representatives from the Canadian Delegation. It was stellar to have the opportunity to meet the other youth delegates, to discuss policy, strategy, and to get an idea of what to expect by spending time with those who've attended previous Conferences of the Parties (COPs).
