Elementary School Workshops

Designed for primary, junior and intermediate students, the school workshop focuses on the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle).

Students learn how waste is recycled, composted or put in a landfill. Students will learn how to reduce the amount of waste their lunches generate, as well as ways to increase their class and home recycling efforts.

Workshops can be delivered to individual classes or to grade division assemblies (kindergarten, grades 1-3, 4-6, 7-8).

Each workshop is approximately 30 minutes. 

Secondary School Workshops

The secondary school workshop covers issues in waste management, the recycling process, composting, and landfill operations. The workshop also discusses ways to promote recycling within the high school.

The high school workshop is suitable for Civics, Geography, Canadian & World Issues, Environment & Resource Management classes, or the school’s Environmental Council.

Workshop length is approximately 45 minutes.
