Nipissing Bracebridge hosting Youth Summit on the Environment

Nipissing’s Bracebridge campus will host the second Youth Summit on the Environment, June 6 – 7, concurrent to the main 2012 Biodiversity Summit: Perspectives on Biodiversity Loss, taking place at the Rene Caisse Theatre in Bracebridge.The Youth Summit is attended by local senior high school students. They will be treated to a live stream of the main summit and will be able to pose questions to the speakers in real time.
The Summit’s objective is to engage and motivate the public with university and high school students, academics and other professionals, in an open debate and discussion on the implications of biodiversity loss. A formal communiqué will be developed that can be used at a local, regional, provincial or national level to encourage action to be taken on stopping biodiversity loss. The high school students will develop their own communiqué that will be presented to appropriate decision makers as determined by the students.
