Amelia Gray


Amelia Gray is committed to empowering women and protecting the environment. The roots of those passions came from Girl Guides, which she has been involved with since 2006. Amelia has contributed in a multitude of ways from mentoring younger members to organizing environmental initiatives. Last year. Amelia co-founded a Women Empowerment Group at Pender Harbour Secondary. This served as a safe place for students to connect while providing resources on subjects including healthy relationships, self-love and consent. In her community, Amelia serves as a PODS Champion, representing youth for the new Pender Harbour Ocean Discovery centre. In this role, she promotes programs and initiatives for the marine science centre and is also involved with the  PODS long-term monitoring program.

Nathan Head


Nathan Head’s passion for space is palpable. With an interest in rocketry, Nathan dove into the world of 3D printing and has designed and built over ten rockets. Nathan has shared his passion with the community, from speaking at TEDx Youth about his rocketry experience and space exploration to founding his school’s first Rocket Club. For the latter, Nathan taught fellow students how to build their own rockets and members created a rocket capable of going 800ft. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Nathan used his experience with 3D printing to give back to the community. Through the use of both his school’s 3D printers and his own, Nathan created 400 ear-savers and 1000 face shield clips. Nathan is also an accomplished rock climber and has represented British Columbia at five youth Nationals. In the fall, Nathan will begin studies in the Faculty of Engineering at UBC.                              ​
