Parker Morrison is leading her communityโ€™s efforts in Kamloops, B.C., to get rusted cars out of a bank on the Thompson River.

For decades, Kamloops residents have been unable to persuade the municipality or the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to take responsibility for clearing out the toxic debris. This 17-year-old is a recipient of the Institute for Sustainable Education and Action (I-SEA) 2023 Youth Climate Activism Award for succeeding in getting things moving.
