Experiences Canada has announced a new deadline for Canada 150&Me. Youth between the ages of 14-19 have now until February 14th, 2017 to submit their project.
Canada 150&Me is a national competition for youth between the ages of 14-19. One hundred fifty participants selected will be traveling to one of four cities for an exciting week of educational, cultural and community activities. They will be joined by like-minded youth from host cities. Each regional event will be themed on one of the broader topics young people have identified as the most important.
The Canada 150&Me Youth Forums will be held in Vancouver April 5, 2017; Montreal, April 11; Halifax, May 16; and Winnipeg, May 25.
Canada 150&Me starts by inviting youth ages 14-19 to answer the simple question, “What is Canada’s greatest challenge or opportunity facing your generation?”
Applicants can reply online using whatever creative media they choose – video, music, written word, or visual art – in three simple steps:
1. Register their interest at www.experiencescanada.com/150
2. Upload their answer to the challenge question in a file of their choosing
3. Provide a short bio and project description.
Teachers can access a Lesson in Brief that will help students prepare their submission.
“Canada 150&Me is involving thousands of young Canadians in a conversation about Canada’s future and encouraging young people to take a leadership role in celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday,” says Deborah Morrison, President of Experiences Canada. “By extending the deadline we can ensure that a greater number of young people have a chance at entering this life-changing competition!
“Milestones are a great opportunity not just to look back at where we’ve come from, but also where we are heading. Here is an opportunity to see another part of Canada, to have a voice and be an agent for change around issues that young people are passionate about. This project will give young people a little bit of context, experience and inspiration,” concludes Morrison.
Canada 150&Me is a signature Canada 150 event supported by the Government of Canada and presenting partner, TD Bank Group, and national partners Great West Life, the McCain Foundation and West Jet.
Experiences Canada is widely recognized as Canada’s premier service provider for student exchanges. Launched in 1936 and previously known as SEVEC, Experiences Canada arranges travel, accommodation and programs for an estimated 5,000 students who participate in reciprocal exchanges annually.
