The Rainbow District School Board is challenging schools to conduct an EcoReview of energy conservation and waste minimization as a new initiative.
Education Director, Norm Blaseg, says the challenge provides schools with a real-time assessment of their day-to-day environmental practices.
School’s green clubs will visit schools to document lighting, electricity, heating, cooling and recycling.
He adds the evaluations are required for certification in the Ontario EcoSchools program.
The deadline is Friday, January 26th.
