YOU ROCK

Youth Action Committeeby Greta Hamilton

“Until the Youth Action Committee (YAC) was established a few years back, the youth voice of our town was near-ly nonexis-tent. Now, t h r o u g h YAC, youth are heard. It gives kids a chance to become a part of change.” says Claire bill-ings, chair of YAC this year. � e youth action com-mittee is run through the city of Campbell River by Amber Zirnhelt, sustain-ability manager, and Kev-in Elmore, recreation pro-grammer. � e committee o� ers youth participation in city plans, development of youth-based projects, and environmental cause – all local. � ere are currently around 15 members, which means � � een voices direct-ly heard by city council and the mayor. On the impact it has on its participants Amber, says,

“it’s a great opportunity to learn about how municipal government works and get

involved in the com-munity and to

have a pos-itive im-pact in the c o m m u -nity.” � e com-

m i t t e e right now

has a number of projects it’s working

on, including a youth cen-tre, a youth charter, youth engagement strategies, the Campbelton Neighbour-hood Association, and a transit promotional video.

“I feel like YAC has given me a sense of maturity and importance that I had yet to feel before joining this com-mittee. Personally, it has given me so many opportu-nities. I have met a diverse group of people that not only seek our opinion but have tremendous respect for what we say. I have not only been privileged with sharing my opinion with YAC nu-merous times, but I have also shared those exact opinions to City Council and truly in-spire change. Without YAC, I wouldn’t have had any of those chances. I take pride in the fact that I am part of this committee. It truly has

only impacted me positively and let me grown into a bet-ter person,” says billings. See the YAC in action

at the annual earth week � lm festival, is hosted by the group (check out their booth) April 16 at the Tide-mark � eatre. Doors open at 6:30, and donations go to-wards a bursary for a YAC member to bene� t their schooling and celebrate their hard work in keeping the community a youth friendly, green environment.

Girl Guides of Cana-da-Guides du Canada is an organization built on the ded-ication and skills of volunteers. � e mandate is to make a pos-itive di� erence in the life of every girl and woman who ex-periences Guiding so she can contribute responsibly to her community.  Our organization enables girls to be con� dent, resourceful and courageous, and to make a di� erence in the world.  In Campbell River, the women involved in this orga-nization develop leadership skills as they work with the girls to provide dynamic pro-grams to empower both the girls and themselves with the skills and abilities to face chal-

lenges with con� dence.  For girls (ages 5 to 18), Guiding is an accepting environment with diverse and exciting pro-grams and activities that o� er the chance to discover new interests, learn valuable lead-ership skills and make lasting friendships. Guiding gives girls the tools and resources they need to achieve greatness.     All levels of Guiding in Campbell River and Gold River are actively involved in doing service projects for the community.  Obviously as the girls get older they become more involved but even our Sparks (ages 5 and 6) partici-pate in service activities from preparing cra� s for Meals on

Wheels, donating to the Food Bank and Transition House, and participating in beach cleanups. � e 1st Campbell River Brownies (ages 7 and 8) are actively involved in provid-ing service in the communi-

ty.  � ey have been involved in local projects such as do-nating to the Campbell River Food Bank; participating in the Shoebox Project (putting together shoeboxes for women in shelters); helping sponsor a family at Christmas; making Valentines for the Valentines for Vets project; donating to Transition House and partici-pating in projects to help Hab-itat for Humanity. Hannah Taylor is a mem-ber of the 1st Campbell River Rangers (ages 15 to 18), and she is also actively involved in providing service to our community.  Hannah is also involved in Campbell Riv-er Special Olympics and the Young Women’s program at � e Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Hannah has provided service by helping at the Campbell River Food Bank; collecting books for the SPCA sale; raising funds for the Canadian World Friend-

ship Fund (CWFF); raising funds for World Vision; tree planting at Baikie Island; help-ing with Sparks and Brownies; making cookies for the Soup Kitchen; visiting Evergreen Seniors Centre; assisting with the beach cleanup, and raising awareness for epilepsy by pro-moting Purple Day. � e ser-vice Hannah has provided has

Scouts is Canada’s leading youth organization for more than 100 years, Scouts have brought a world of adventure, outdoor experience and friendship to 17 million Canadian youth. Scouts have a lot of fun dis-covering new things and ex-periences they wouldn’t have elsewhere. Along the way they develop into capable, con� dent and well-rounded individuals, better prepared for success in the world. Scouting o� ers a world where youths can discover the best in themselves and the best in oth-ers. Scout programs run all year round and o� er adventures that youth will remember for a life-time! Local Campbell River area Scouts have been involved in various community projects in the past 12 months. 1st Willow Point Beavers, Cubs and Venture

Company youths all participated in the Campbell River Shore-line Cleanup and spent time visiting the seniors at Yaculta Lodge, while Venture Company youths Riley Amberson, Celeste Amberson, Jordan Holling, Ri-ley Holling and Erik Shrubsall all work in the Beaver Colony with younger Scouts. Alexander Hall is also a Venture Compa-ny youth, who assists in the Cub pack. Sylvia Simpson is a Scout-er in Training with 1st Campbell River Beaver Colony, and she assists with games, cra� s, meet-ings and sleepovers and camps regularly, while the 1st Campbell River Beavers also participated in the Shoreline Cleanup last year –  Beavers are 5-7 year old boys and girls. Each of our youth leaders has taken the time to perform the training that is mandatory for all scouting leaders. � ese youth

bridge the gap between Scout adult leaders and youth partic-ipants.  � ey assist in running games, organizing cra� s, helping youth feel comfortable, planning meetings and assisting with run-ning sleepovers and camps. � ese youth leaders give feedback on how the program is being re-ceived by younger children. � ese teens each devote a number of hours each week to the weekly program plus the sleepovers and camps that are held each month. Our youth volunteers are an inte-gral part of our programs, and we would like to thank them for their time and dedication – without our youth volunteers, we would not be able to participate in many of the projects in the community! � ank you to all of the Campbell River area Scouts for their time, e� ort and dedication to helping their community.

Congratulations to all Volunteers

Over 70 local second-ary students serve with the Timberline and Carihi In-teract clubs. � ese students have  supported or directly funded many projects over the last year, providing ser-vice and support for local, national and international projects. Interacts are our community’s young Rotar-ians (aged 14 to 18 years), and both the Campbell Riv-er Noon and Daybreak Ro-tary Clubs support our In-teracts in their endeavours. At Carihi Secondary School, Interact students have been involved in the following projects: the Phil-ippines typhoon relief fund-raiser, which raised $700; grocery bagging at Super-store, which raised $777.40

for two sponsor children from the Philippines and Kenya; the Halloween for Hunger ‘Free � e Children’ event, where over 200 cans (of non-perishable food) were collected for hungry families across Canada; the ‘1 Brick’ ‘Free � e Chil-dren’ event, which raised $300 – for every $20 raised, one brick can be purchased,

with the goal of building a school in a third world coun-try; a bake sale which raised $85; and a coin drive which raised funds to supply peo-ple with clean drinking wa-

ter in Africa. Timberline Secondary School Interact students have also assisted the lo-cal community by: bagging groceries in June to sup-port Cameryn’s Cause; � ll-ing nearly ninety Operation Christmas child boxes; as-sisting with stacking wood for an injured communi-ty member; the ‘Helping

Hands’ fundraiser, which provides four hours work to a Rotarian who has bid and won, and students then chose the charity they wish to donate funds to; send-ing $500 to Naivasha High School in Kenya for text-books; providing food and support for the Afghanistan School for girls, which was in danger of closing; and the Backpack Program, which provides weekend food in backpacks for students of Timberline who need help. On behalf of the Camp-bell River community, we would like to thank the lo-cal Interact students for the time and e� ort they dedicate to local projects and their community.
