Leaders in Alberta’s volunteer sector have become inspired to catch the spirit to save the bear.

Youth Coalition founder Simon Jackson spoke to hundreds of volunteer leaders from across Alberta to encourage them to make their voice heard for the spirit bear.

With the debate on the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that would send oil tankers through the spirit bear’s habitat currently monopolizing the news, leaders were informed that their voice matters on this issue and all issues.

Jackson preached balance, innovation and youth engagement during his address and those who attended responded with overwhelming support for protecting the spirit bear and becoming leaders in their community today.
