Dahlia is a high school student in Barrhaven and has been leading her school’s environmental club for the past two years. Passionate about climate change since early childhood, she was inspired by her grandmother, who taught her the importance of keeping the planet healthy and how even one small action can spark meaningful change. Dahlia sees the effects of climate change and global warming in everyday life, which fuels her drive to create change within her generation.
She is especially interested in marine biology and conservation and hopes to pursue these passions as a future career. Dahlia is eager to expand environmental education in Ottawa, particularly among youth, and looks forward to collaborating with other passionate members of the EcoYouth Council. She hopes to bring confidence, creativity, and dedication to positively impact the council’s work.
