Eco-certified schools

To The Haldimand Press

HALDIMAND—Grand Erie District School Board students and staff are doing their part to ensure a healthier future for the planet. More than half of the board’s 72 schools were rewarded for their environmental efforts in 2018-19 with 38 earning EcoSchools Certification. This included 10 Haldimand schools.

“We’re extremely proud of what our EcoTeams have achieved this year,” said Katie Hashimoto, Supervisor of Energy and Environmental Conservation at the Board. “Fostering student leadership and becoming stronger environmental stewards is part of the EcoSchools certification process. What these schools are doing will have a lasting impact.”

As the world comes face-to-face with the realities of climate change, Grand Erie students are leading the way with big and small modifications that make a significant difference.
