Growing Green Leaders: EcoSchools Canada Inspires Students to Take Action

When a group of Grade 6 students at James Morden PS learned about the environmental impact of air travel, they decided to get creative to raise awareness and create change.

This greener transformation was shared with the airport in hopes of a real-life change.
