Youth Vital Conversation

In December 2019, the Clayoquot Biosphere Trust co-hosted a Youth Vital Conversation with the Coastal Family Resource Coalition. Using data from our Vital Signs report as a starting point, approximately 50 teens from Maaqtusiis and Ucluelet Secondary Schools discussed how to make our region a better place to grow up.
