Manitoba has created a Youth Advisory Council (Council) to harness the forward-thinking perspective of young Manitobans on climate change and sustainable development issues.

The Council consists of up to ten members who will serve on the Council for one-year terms.

At this time, we are calling on Manitoba youth from across the province, and from all walks of life, to help inform the implementation of the Made-in-Manitoba Climate and Green Plan.

Council members will:

• Be Manitoba residents;

• Ideally be between 15 and 29 years of age as of January 1, 2023;

• Be knowledgeable of issues related to the Climate and Green Plan;

• Demonstrate a proven engagement and interest in environmental issues and/or civil society issues;

• Engage in respectful, open discussion, and be accepting of differing viewpoints;

• Not be employed by the Manitoba government;

• Be willing to serve for a one-year term.

Anticipated to occur in January 2023. It is anticipated that there will be a combination of virtual and in-person meetings. There may be additional reading and preparation outside of regular meetings.
