North Meets South Exchange Program Summer 2018 : In partnership with Canadian Roots Exchange, the Jr. EC created a new program for Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth to come together and actualize change. This two-week exchange program connected 20 high school and university students from Ontario to participate in immersive workshops designed to equip them with key policy decision making skills. The program allowed for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous youth to learn from ea...ch other and address the issues that truly matter to them. With key public policy experts as mentors, students developed their own policy with a generational voice. The program culminated with a presentation of their policy in front of executive leaders, change makers and senior government officials for a chance to win academic scholarships and to have their policy addressed nationally.
