Congratulations to the SDSS Eco-Club and Green Industries classes for winning this national recognition! This award recognizes and amplifies successful, youth-led climate-action programs/projects across Canada.

Green Industries students were treated with presentations by Marvin Smith, Forestry By-Law Officer for Perth County who spoke about deforestation and tree cover in Perth County, and Quin Mallot, Manager of Stratford's Parks and Recreation, who spoke on urban forestry. Norm Roes also visited our classroom and taught our senior students pruning techniques in our New Digs apple orchard.

THJ2O students studied the pillars of sustainability and created a model of their community and a report explaining the elements of their sustainable practices. Great work in SHSM Green Industries!

SDSS and St. Marys DCVI were at Wildwood Conservation Area April 3 learning about mapping, compass training, and GPS technology. This program is part of their Environment SHSM certification. Next event is our environment conference at the Pathways Innovation Center on April 20th!

Although it is winter, Green Industries students are keeping warm in the greenhouse by propagating succulents and wildflower seeds for our May plant sale.
