Student Congress 2008
April 4, 2008

The second annual Student Congress took place on April 4, 2008 in Vancouver. 130 students from across B.C. joined B.C.’s Lieutenant Governor Stephen Point, Education Minister Shirley Bond, and distinguished presenters.

Sustainability was one of the key issues. Students listened to the views of Nobel Prize winner Dr. John Robinson and then presented a range of their own ideas to Minister Bond.

One of the student delegates summarized the inspirational tone of the discussion when she suggested that her generation needed to make it unacceptable to be anything other than green. Others pointed out that the same fundamental shift in perspective had been accomplished by their parents’ generation in terms of making smoking uncool and seatbelt use part of people’s daily lives.
