Youth Plant 310 Trees Across Borders | Calgary News

Thirty-seven global youth, aged fifteen to twenty-two, teamed up with the Calgary Lions Club to plant 310 trees near Memorial Drive — a hands-on act of service under the Lions’ “rooted in service” theme for 2026–2027. Part of the Youth Exchange program, these young travelers are staying with host families in Southern Alberta, building cross-cultural bonds while contributing to Calgary’s greener future. Supported by the City’s “Branching Out” initiative and the Lions’ own ambitious 50,000-tree goal, the effort is accelerating urban canopy growth — with sights set on high-impact zones like Stoney Trail and potential provincial partnerships to scale up impact.
