Students on Ice Blog

Dear SOI alumni and friends,

I want to share with you a great new way to raise money for the Students on Ice Foundation that we’ve been working on.

Students on Ice Search is a search engine and toolbar powered by Google, Bing, Yahoo and Federated so you get the same search results you are used to, but now every search raises a few cents for the Students on Ice Foundation at no cost to you. All proceeds will go to supporting student scholarships and other great education and conservation projects at Students on Ice.

It’s really simple, secure, fun and completely free, so please give it a try. Also, the Students on Ice Search Page will be a communication tool to keep you updated on the latest news, announcements and opportunities in the Students on Ice Polar education world!! The toolbar that you will be prompted to download after you register contains easy to use buttons that allow you to access all of our Students on Ice content online as well as our partners and an up-to-date RSS feed with news and opportunities you’ll want to check out. Additionally the toolbar provides you with a search bar so you don’t have to navigate back to your homepage to help us raise money, you can do it right from the bar! You have to register for your searches to count so please don’t skip this important step!

To join or learn more just click on this link. Make this your new home page or search page and be sure to download the toolbar!!

In the expedition spirit,
Geoff

The Cause

Canada has a long tradition of establishing parks and protected areas, which has contributed to our global reputation as a good steward of our natural resources. Through the Canadian Parks Council, various national, provincial and territorial park agencies work together to ensure that Canadians can continue to be proud of our parks and protected areas, and their role in preserving our country’s natural capital. For more information on the Canadian Parks Council, visit http://www.parks-parcs.ca

Responsibilities
The Canadian Parks Council Youth Engagement Working Group is launching a national research project to discover and create the best ways to connect youth to Canada’s national, provincial, and territorial parks.

The Canadian Parks Council is looking for a diverse group of youth from across Canada to join the Youth Advisory Panel.

We are seeking youth with any level of experience with parks (including no experience) who are prepared to be active participants in dialogues about parks and youth programs.
