York Region Students Empowered to Become Environmental Leaders

Grade 5 and 6 students from across York Region developed their environmental leadership skills at a two-day summit held at the Kortright Centre for Conservation. 

Students participated in activities designed to inspire and equip them to take a leadership role in their schools on environmental conservation, such as:

  • taking a nature hike
  • building wind turbines
  • creating outdoor art
  • participating in teambuilding exercises. 

Students were encouraged to take the learning back to their schools to help everyone do their part toward a sustainable and healthy environment.
