Glacier Backcountry Trip


This fall the Future Leaders Youth Council will embark on an overnight backcountry trip to the Illecillewaet Hut to explore the wonderful world of glaciers. The purpose of this trip is to learn about glaciers, their importance, significance, how they are being affected by climate change, and what can be done about it. Afterwards, attendees will have the opportunity to attend workshops by Glaciologist Peter Wray and Sculptor Alva Gallagher. Participants will then have the opportunity to share their learning to the community.
