TRI-CITIES
Tri-Cities is one of Sustainable Youth Canada's newest and fastest growing regions. Being an expanded region of SYC Vancouver, we are dedicated to connecting youth in the Metro Vancouver area.

SYC Tri-Cities is also actively looking for new members as well as passionate youth to fill executive positions. If you are interested in making a difference in the community through sustainability, please register here. We look forward to having you join us!
What's Happening in SYC Tri-Cities?
Established in the Fall of 2015, SYC Tri-Cities has over 30 high school and university students enrolled as a member. As one of SYC’s newly established regions, SYC Tri-Cities is committed to promoting the presence of SYC in the Tri-Cities and connecting youth with sustainability-focused opportunities.
In 2016, SYC Tri-Cities held information sessions during Earth Week at Pinetree Secondary School to inform students about SYC and to increase member presence. As well, a community garden plot was created at the Inspiration Garden at Town Centre Park in Coquitlam to allow members to plant organic vegetables in their local community. In addition, SYC Tri-Cities participated in the Salmon Leave Home event hosted by the Hoy-Scott Watershed Society at Hoy Creek.
