Armstrong/Spallumcheen Climate Action (ASCA)

ASCA is a local group that focuses on climate action in our community. We can be found working closely together with other environmental groups in the region.

 

We partake in tree planting and in efforts to increase biodiversity. We create community and foster communication with our local leaders.

 

We reach both young and old with our outreach and education efforts. We aim to include truth and reconciliation in all our efforts, and we are guided by kindness and compassion.

​

Together we create change and lasting friendships.

Becoming CARE mentors

Our climate action group is currently collaborating with CARE (Climate Action Ripple Effect program for highschool students). We are working as mentors from the community.

Anyone from any walk of life is welcome

​

Do you have some skills you would like to share with youth.

I acknowledge that I work and play on the traditional unceded territories of the Secwépemc and Syilx-Okanagan Peoples. I recognize the strength and wisdom of the Peoples who have lived here for 10,000 years, and I commit to do all I can to bring truth and reconciliation into the work that I do.
