The Sun Always Shines on Earth Day
Blog Entry
My grandpa, a jovial man, used to say that the sun always shines – if only for a brief moment - on Saturdays.

Last week, in Victoria, the sun was shining bright enough to light up the next century of Earth Days.

The Greater Victoria Youth Climate Action Summit and Off the Grid Music and Art Festival is inviting students to come together to be inspired, share their stories, experiences, challenges and successes as motivational youth help lead us all to a more sustainable world.
