Funded 2003-2004
The Sierra Youth Coalition Working Group encourages
awareness and action on environmental issues through
lobbying and consciousness-raising on the University
campus and the greater Edmonton community. Our
mandate is to seek coalitions amongst other groups with
similar mandates to assert our collective voice to move us on
a path of greater ecological and social sustainability.
In Spring (2003) a group of students formed an APIRG
working group under the banner of the Sierra Youth
Coalition, UofA Chapter. The plan was to form an
environmental activist group on campus and create greater
awareness about environmental issues, especially those
pertaining to the campus ecosystem. The Environmental
Coordination Office of Students (ECOS) was a contributing
member of this working group.
