Re: Invitation to Attend Coastal Zone Canada 2006 Youth Forum in Tuktoyaktuk, NWT We would like to invite you to participate in the Coastal Zone Canada Youth Forum in Tuktoyaktuk, in Canada's Western Arctic, August 11-14, 2006. If you're between the ages of 15 and 29, and interested in the environment and change, Tuktoyaktuk NWT is where you'll want to be this summer! The Youth Forum in Tuktoyaktuk will be an exciting opportunity to exchange ideas and learn about new and emerging ways to manage and adapt to coastal change. The theme of this year's conference is "change and sustainability in Arctic coastal communities" and Participants will be considering how livelihoods depend on the coast, from research, to hunting and fishing, to shipping and travel routes. We will look at how coastal residents can better adjust to changing times and conditions. We are confident that the Coastal Zone Canada 2006 Youth Forum will provide many opportunities to learn and share with other youth from the Arctic and the rest of the world. Enclosed is some information about the Youth Forum, which may answer some questions you may have about the Forum. If you would like more information, don't hesitate to contact me at Youth.Forum@czc06.ca, or by replying to this letter at the address above. See you in Tuktoyaktuk!
