LivPolarBear

• Founder of LivPolarBear

  • Oct 2012 - Mar 2015

  LivPolarBear is a children's environmental project created by an 8 year old girl in a hope to help the preservation of Polar Bear conservation and raise awareness on Global Warming. LivPolarBear is known across Canada by offering its 'pay it forward' clay bear project, free art competitions and Polar Party Events. I am a driven individual who welcomes taking the initiative and I thrive on motivating and inspiring myself and those around me. As an active member of my community and youth in particular, I recently spearheaded the ‘LivPolarBear - Pay It Forward’ children’s environmental campaign, which is a fundraiser now recognized in media stations across Canada. In December 2013, I personally led, organized and promoted the ‘LivPolarBear-Polar Party’ in Ottawa, raising over $12,800 in support of the World Wildlife Foundation (‘WWF’) Arctic Homeland project, and in particular, the Plight of the Polar Bear. My work with ‘LivPolarBear’ was done entirely on a volunteer basis. LivPolarBear successfully secured donation and sponsorship from over 40 companies, including Canada Post, Canadian Museum of Nature and The Royal Canadian Mint. I created and maintain a web page for ‘LivPolarBear’ (http://LivPolarBear.com) and I am in charge of all advertising, social media, live television interviews and networking. I have worked with local councilors, local celebrities such as Mr. Max Keeping, WWF Arctic Director Mr. M. VonMirbach and the Mayor of Ottawa. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has written to ‘LivPolarBear’ in support and admiration, and the Right Honorable Governor General Mr. David Johnston invited us for a personal "tea" with himself and his lovely wife Shannon. LiV has been awarded with 4 Awards - Caring Canadian Award, Canadian museum of Nature Award, Max Keeping Youth Spirit Award & The Starfish Award Show less
