CWF IS RECOGNIZED FOR OUR LEADERSHIP IN BRINGING TOGETHER A BROAD CROSS SECTION OF INDIVIDUALS AND ORGANIZATIONS, FROM GOVERNMENT TO INDUSTRY STAKEHOLDERS, CORPORATE LEADERS AND NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO WORK TOGETHER FOR WILDLIFE.

New programs:
THERE ARE SEVERAL NEW PROGRAMS UNDERWAY AT THE CANADIAN WILDLIFE FEDERATION. CWF LAUNCHED WILD OUTSIDE, A NATIONAL PROGRAM DESIGNED TO INCREASE YOUTH VOLUNTARY SERVICE AND TO DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS THROUGH CONSERVATION. LEARNING FROM CWF FACILITATORS ALONGSIDE THEIR PEERS, YOUTH CONNECT WITH OTHER LOCAL PARTICIPANTS IN THE PLANNING AND DELIVERY OF COMMUNITY-BASED CONSERVATION ACTION PROJECTS. CWF'S CANADIAN CONSERVATION CORPS IS A THREE-PART PROGRAM FOR YOUNG ADULTS THAT STARTS WITH AN EXCITING WILDERNESS JOURNEY FOLLOWED BY A FIELD PLACEMENT WITH NATIONAL CONSERVATION LEADERS. PARTICIPANTS THEN RETURN TO THEIR HOME COMMUNITIES TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN MEANINGFUL CONSERVATION PROJECT. BOTH PROGRAMS ARE FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA UNDER THE CANADA SERVICE CORPS PROGRAM. WITH SUPPORT FROM BRITISH COLUMBIA SALMON RESTORATION AND INNOVATION FUND AND CANADA NATURE FUND FOR AQUATIC SPECIES AT RISK, CWF IS ALSO BRINGING FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS, NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, FIRST NATIONS, AND COMMUNITIES TOGETHER TO PRIORITIZE FISH PASSAGE REMEDIATION EFFORS ACROSS B.C.
