I am proud that our RBC Future Launch Community Challenge initiative supports projects to help the North and First Nations.
RBC Future Launch is contributing to a youth driven project in Iqaluit that will provide more information and guidance on the benefits of solar energy and how to install solar panels. Other funded projects include a podcast for First Nations youth in Fort Qu’Appele, Sakatchewan to share traditional knowledge and stories of the land.
RBC Future Launch is designed to empower the youth of today for jobs of tomorrow. It is funding over 210 projects this year. These projects tackle issues such as climate change, poverty, and food security.
