Impact! The Co-operators Youth Conference for Sustainability Leadership

Achieving sustainability requires a multi-disciplinary approach and a broad social commitment. It also requires the energy and passion of youth.

That’s why The Co-operators has launched an unprecedented partnership of business, academia and non-government organisations to bring together students from all fields of study from across Canada to develop and implement real sustainability solutions for their current lives and their future careers.

All conference related expenses will be covered for selected participants. Your contribution is time and commitment.
