School Projects

Earth Run organizer Robyn, gets it started!

2011 was the pilot year for our school program and there were some great environmental projects completed by students in the participating schools. As well, several school’s made donations to local non profit groups.

The Projects

Each school chose their own environmental project and the results were great!

  • rooftop garden, demonstrating biodiversity and habitat for many species
  • pesticide-free vegetable garden, which demonstrated how to grow our own healthy food. It allowed children to work cooperatively to build, maintain and harvest a garden.
  • School green spaces were designed and plants chosen, planted and cared for, to create natural, shade spaces for students to gather.Donations
  • Donations were made to a local animal protection group helping animals at risk.
  • Two conservation areas environmental projects received donations.
  • Donations were made to the David Suzuki Foundation supporting their environmental projects.

Please check the recap of our 2011 schools program for the full update.
