Upcoming youth summit to be held at Bluewater Shores Thirty-five senior high school stu- dents are invited from communities lo- • cated within the Lake Huron — Georgian Bay watershed — from Sault Ste Marie to Parry Sound to Grand Bend - to come together for a weekend of environmen- tal education, inspiration, and action planning. The past two years the sum- mit was held in Tobermory and Parry Sound. This year's summit will be held at the Bluewater Shores Lakefront Re- sort, on Highway 21 near Bayfield. This year the event will be held the weekend of September 25 -27, with a theme of "Youth in Action... Making Waves." The summit focuses on issues important to the water basin as a whole, such as invasive species and pollution, as well as issues specific to the area which is hosting the LHYS. This year's summit will focus on the linkages and a healthy collaboration between agricul- ture and the environment. The purpose of the youth summit is to foster a community-based approach to restoring and protecting the lands and waters of the Lake Huron -Geor- gian Bay watershed through education, awareness and community action. The students who participate in the summit return to their home communities and act as youth ambassadors— encouraging their fellow students and citizens to un- dertake stewardship activities that will benefit the environment. They will also lead by example by implementing ac- tivities outlined in their own personal action plans developed at the summit. They are encouraged to create aware- ness about environmental issues that are relevant to their community, as well as issues that are a personal interest to themselves. In previous years, students have used the skills and information they obtained at the youth summit to initiate school - wide events such as composting pro- grams, walk to school days and presen- tations to school assemblies. Students have also undertaken activities outside their school by hosting local commu- nity water festivals, participating in tree planting/habitat restoration events and making presentations to municipal councils. Each of the students is paired up with a mentor in their community who pro- vides them with support and assists them in finding the resources they will need to work as a youth ambassador. All residents in Huron County are encour- aged to keep an eye out for youth am- bassadors this coming school year and provide your support to youth -based environmental projects. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, or being involved with youth - based projects, please contact Jenni Boles at youthsummit@huroncounty. ca, (519) 235-2610, or Stewart Sweeney at stewart.sweeney@ontario.ca, (519) 826-4478.
