\n(Unceded Algonquin Territory, Ottawa, June 15, 2023)<\/strong> \u2014 Nature Canada with the support of CLIF Bar & Company<\/a> are proud to celebrate Chevaun Toulouse of Sagamok First Nation, as a recipient of the CLIF BAR\u00ae Young Nature Leaders Grant<\/strong>. This grant encourages, fosters and nurtures youth to demonstrate their leadership in nature.<\/p>\n

Chevaun leads land-based cultural programming in her Sagamok Anishnawbek community on the north shore of Lake Huron.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowing up on Sagamok Anishnawbek gave me an interest in and respect for the natural environment. I explored my surroundings, becoming familiar with the plant and animal species that lived around me and in my community. I\u2019m thrilled to learn and share more with community members through my project,\u201d said Chevaun Toulouse.<\/p>\n

CLIF BAR\u00ae is sponsoring Nature Canada\u2019s Young Nature Leader Grant program this year. This support has allowed the program to double the number of youth projects recognized to 10. Alongside Chevaun, CLIF\u2019s support sponsored grants to these youth whose projects will be announced later this year:<\/p>\n
