Being raised in Canada taught me two enduring lessons: To care for the environment, and to contribute meaningfully to public life.
That’s why in 2023, when an unexpected call from the White House came in, I stepped forward. I was appointed by president Joe Biden, and within months began work on the historic American Climate Corps program.
In his first budget, Prime Minister Mark Carney has proposed a similar climate corps for Canada – a bold, consequential, nation-building program with deep roots and a rich legacy dating back nearly 100 years. This is exactly the kind of generational investment that young people need.
Sounds like a job application.
