YES - Youth Environmental Symposium
February 11-13, 2005
University of New Brunswick
Student Union Building Ballroom & Room 103
www.nben.ca/yes.htm
Historically, Atlantic Canada has been left behind. We have less
investment, fewer industries, higher unemployment, and among other
things, we are generally slow to catch on to national trends,
including the environment. The Ultimate Goal of YES is to engage,
educate, stimulate, and empower youth across Atlantic Canada to forge
a brighter, greener, healthier future. Come share your experiences
with others and connect with other networks.
We have a great line-up of speakers including:
- Herménégilde Chiasson, NB Lieutenant-Governor, Introductory remarks
- Bob Willard, Author of The Sustainability Advantage: Seven Business
Case Benefits of a Triple Bottom Line
- Inka Milewski, Science Advisor, Conservation Council of NB, "Environmental Justice"
- Florian Lévesque, Community Activist currently involved in the
campaign against Bennett Environmental's Toxic Waste Incinerator in Belledune.
- Irvine Polchies, Grand Chief, Maliseet First Nation, Opening Ceremony

anyone else you can think of who would be interested in coming to YES!
