2019 - Lake Superior

As the Ocean Bridge team, you will contribute to the health of our Oceans by participating in a 10-day immersive wilderness expedition delivering a marine conservation service project of your design. In the months leading up to this extended service, you will co-create your project with the local community and each other. By living, working and reflecting as a team in an iconic natural setting, you develop social capital, respect for diversity and a heightened sense of responsibility and pride. 

As a national team, Ocean Bridge will:

  • Spend five months leading up to the journey identifying and planning their service project(s).
  • Co-create their service project(s) with the local community and one another.
  • Live together in the North shore of Lake Superior from June 14-24th. We will come together as a group of 40 on June 14, spending the night at the Pawgwasheeng First Nation Pow Wow grounds. On June 15 half the group will head to Pukaskwa National Park for 2 nights, while the other half will stay at Pawgwasheeng First Nation. On June 17 the group will switch for the following 2 nights. We will then all come together as a group again, staying at the Chalet Lodge with Red Rock Indian Band for the remaining 5 nights. 
  • Have a budget of $25,000 to support them in achieving their goals.
  • Share their experience through social and media communications.
