Students from schools representing the Sudbury Catholic District School Board were rewarded for their efforts in EarthCare Sudbury's Youth Action on Climate Change contest at a gala celebration held at Cambrian College recently.
As part of the Youth Challenge, School Boards and students promoted idle-free zones in school areas and actively participated in the Dearness Conservation, a practical, activity-based program that brings environmental education alive in schools.
Students were encouraged to become involved by undertaking one of three projects;
Drawing attention to environmental issues! ~ Creating artwork, painting, drawing or sculpture that relates to climate change
Spreading the word; writing an article, short story or essay on climate change
Affirmative Action; design, plan and implement a new project to engage youth and/or the community in climate change action.
Winners from each category were selected by a panel of judges and awards were presented to students at the Gala Celebrations. In addition, students' artwork were showcased at venues around the City of Greater Sudbury with the winning articles published in local newspapers. Select radio messages received air play on local radio stations in the spring of 2005.
