School Board promotes Environmental Education

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board is working to expand its environmental footprint.

Along with conservation programs, the public school board is working to extend the environmental curriculum.

Kathy Boone is the Environmental Education Co-ordinator and says instead of adding new courses they want to make students and teachers more aware of the resources available.

Boone says they have been able to expand the Conservation Camp in Dryden to include high school students from other area of the board and have been actively involved in the annual Envirothon.
