Crazy Canadian Electric Bus Tour

The Crazy Canadian Electric Bus Tour is an immersive, mobile education program which will engage youth in Grey Bruce and beyond in immersive digital experiences that inspire them to take specific action to create a positive future for themselves, their communities and our environment.

We envision a mobile, immersive experience about the interactions of nature and humanity; where these are constructive now and where they’ve become increasingly destructive, leading to several interconnecting crises. The experience will outline various possibilities to reverse the destructive interactions, and will evolve by incorporating interactive input from people in the communities visited by the Tour. The overall aim is to inspire and encourage local and collective action to help restore a stable balance in the environment to ensure that all life on Earth can survive and prosper.
