Hello! Please distribute far and wide...

The Coastal Zone 2000 Youth Forum is fast approaching! This international
youth event (for ages 16-29) will be held from September 15-17 in Saint
John, New Brunswick. As the youth component of the Coastal Zone Canada 2000
Conference, we will gather the weekend before, and present our findings to
the Main Conference at their Opening Ceremonies on the evening of Sunday,
September 17th.

Important notices!
1.	If you register before August 11th, your $60 (CDN) registration fee
will include your accommodations for up to four nights.
2.	If you are of Aboriginal decent you may be eligible for Financial
Aid being provided by the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs. Fill
out the form at http://www.sybertooth.ca/czczcc2000/register.htm (be sure to
mark down on the form that you are Aboriginal and would like to attend the
Youth Forum)

The Youth Forum organizers have been hard at work over the past 2 years
designing a program filled with interesting keynote speakers and challenging
workshops. Keynote speakers include Charlie Labrador, a well known Mi'kmaq
elder, Elizabeth May of the Sierra Club of Canada, and Louis LaPierre of the
Universite de Moncton.

Come and learn about coastal zone management and coastal issues. You'll
explore topics such as Aboriginal culture and concerns, the Ecological
Footprint concept, visioning for the future, designing a Marine Protected
Area, discussing your concerns with an MP and an MLA about how government
functions. You'll even have the opportunity to help out with a local
community Beach Sweep! For the full program visit the Youth Forum web site
at http://www.sybertooth.ca/czczcc2000/yf.htm

Space is limited to 150 on a first come first served basis, so register
before August 11th and get your accommodations included with your
registration fee!

Cheers,
	Max Westhead
	Youth Forum Chair
