EcoTeam

Hooray! Our school has achieved Platinum level EcoSchools Canada certification again this year. Many thanks to our EcoTeam for leading us through the process.

Many thanks to Dylan from Maajiigin Gumig native plant greenhouse. Our staff and students learned about this Indigenous-led business and its focus on growing native plants for the Aamjiwnaang community and surrounding Sarnia-Lambton Area. #IndigenousHistoryMonth

#Canada's #wildfire & air quality advisories on #CleanAirDay show the need to prep for extremes as climate warms. Care communities are key to supporting the vulnerable. Find resources for #ClimateAnxiety. Sign to hold oil&gas accountable for its #pollution ow.ly/IXLN50OHs29

A LANDMARK MOMENT ‼️ The House of Commons voted YES on Bill S-5. #CEPA will finally be updated after two decades. This will be Canada's first law recognizing the right to a healthy environment. Read our media release here 👇davidsuzuki.org/press/mps-pass…

Sad to see that our teachers' pensions continue to contribute to climate chaos, putting at risk a climate-safe future for their students and the profitability of their retirement savings. Boo @OTPPinfo - you can do better!

Amazing opportunity Sat. May 27th to work with our community partners at CaldwellFN and ERCA, as well as Jamieson employees to restore local ecosystems. Community hours available. Contact gpannunzio@erca.org to register as a volunteer.

Tomorrow, Leamington youth are invited to earn community hours while keeping waste out of our ecosystems.
