School programs

School workshops are designed to be in-line with the BC Curriculum Big Ideas and cross-curricular competencies for all grades. They are interactive and include:

• The link between consumption and waste
• Place-based learning (local ecological, historical and social connections)

• Creative ideas for personal change
