About Civil Protection Youth Canada (CPYC)

Our mission: Equip and empower society and the next generation with hands-on training and skills to anticipate, prepare for, mitigate, respond to, and recover from disasters; to close the gap between those affected and those addressing the challenges. Changing the culture of preparedness in Canada requires the understanding that empowerment and resilience go far beyond messaging. They are the result of growing up learning to trust in one’s abilities, complemented with continuous training and expertise that allow efficient teamwork to safely intervene and minimize negative impact. When disaster strikes citizens are often the first to respond: preparedness and training can significantly improve their safety and effectiveness, transforming citizens from passive bystanders to active leaders. Through collaboration, education, and proactive initiatives, CPYC aims to create a future where preparedness becomes second nature and resilience becomes a way of life.
