When you spend your time sorting out international schedules and travel, people often ask what it's all about. For us, it always comes back to the people, the communities, and the real connections we share. Sometimes, those connections happen right in our own backyard, reminding us why we do what we do.
Take this summer, for example.
We had the privilege of supporting a remarkable 14-year-old Inuk youth from Nunavut as he traveled west for an unforgettable cultural exchange in Vancouer, Squamish and Whistler. At just 14, he has already shown incredible leadership, resilience, and a deep dedication to his community, sharing his Inuit heritage through national gatherings and reconciliation events.
During his time on Coast Salish territory and the traditional lands of the Lil’wat Nation, he connected with other Indigenous cultures, experienced the beauty of BC, and built relationships that bridge communities from coast to coast.
Journeys like this take a community to make happen. A huge thank you goes out to our friends at Harbour Air, whose ongoing support for youth mobility made this seamless travel experience possible. Working with partners who genuinely care about championing the next generation makes all the difference.
Whether we're facilitating cross-country youth exchanges right here in BC or gearing up for our November visits to the communities we serve in Mexico, the heart of it all remains the exact same: re-connect the world, one project at a time.
