Environmental Youth Council

The purpose of the Environmental Youth Council (EYC) is to build capacity, undertake research and develop an environmental framework that will complement the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations (FSIN) Protecting our World Strategy.

Over the long-term, it will promote the development of capacity on a professional level that First Nations will require as they assume greater responsibilities and control over lands and resources under self-government initiatives through treaty rights protection and implementation.

The EYC will bring together First Nations youth to develop and promote partnerships and initiatives; and increase awareness with respect to the issue of climate change, while integrating knowledge about energy and technology, better energy planning and management, conservation awareness, sustainable development, and environmental protection.
