ENVIRONMENTAL COUNCIL Mission Statement: The Environmental Council strives to promote environmental awareness, respect and appreciation for our planet while fulfilling God’s expectation of stewardship. Main Events: Park Clean-ups:  Every year Environmental Council holds two park clean-ups, one per semester, which encourage students to take pride in their school’s appearance, and to take care of the surrounding area. Students pick up trash and recyclables in the school parking lot, field, and adjacent community center and forest. Two community service hours are offered to all participants who attend each clean-up. Blue Bin Recycling Program:  This year, the environmental council instituted a blue bin recycling program in order to ensure that the cans, bottles, and other recyclables produced by the school community do not end up in landfills. This program began by launching a pilot project in STL’s west wing, providing each of those classrooms with a blue bin to start things off. The pilot project was a great success, and currently many classrooms in the school are making a conscious effort to separate cans and bottles from fine paper recycling. This year, the council aims to purchase more blue bins for classrooms around the school and the cafeteria. Vermiculture Composting Program:  The council’s newest initiative is the vermiculture composting program, which entails the collection of green waste produced by the kitchen staff.

It brought together students from all over York Region to take part in fun and informative workshops, and was attended by over 250 students. Keynote speakers for this event included Geoff Cape, executive director of Evergreen, and the Hon. Donna Cansfield, Minister of Natural Resources. EcoStock will not be recurring this year, but there are more great ideas and big events to come!
