In 1998, 6-year-old Kelsey Brasil walked onto the raised platform of her elementary school gym. Dubbing herself "Captain Cleanwater," she gave a speech to her school about water conservation and protection. From a young age, Kelsey learned that her actions can make an impact.
Kelsey's early initiative on water conservation sparked a lifelong passion for climate change advocacy and education. As a project manager at Efficiency Canada, Kelsey is now building a Career Hub to help young people land green jobs in energy efficiency. Kelsey is one of many passionate young professionals across Canada who are working to address the climate crisis. Today, I want to highlight some of those leaders.
