Enthusiastic high school student, Alexandra Mason, of the Propel program of the Louis Riel School Division, has written an amazing book that we will be using in the ESG Environment Club! Every page has information about issues with climate change, and what we can do to help! Our environment club was meeting before the winter break and students were just about to read through her book, and pick 3 actionable solutions that our school could be a part of! We hope to talk to Miss Mason about her amazing book and ideas this year! Click below to LISTEN to her read the book herself While you listen, try to pick 3 solutions from the "What Can I do to help" sections on each page, so we can talk about them at the next environment club meeting: Click on the link below to learn how she created her book, and watch the video about her process!

We have been celebrating Earth Day outside for a while now, by dancing to the beautiful song by Kelly Bado - Hey Terre! Watch the official video here: You can watch the way students are responding to this uplifting song by visiting the Music Outside section of this website! I've been updating this page regularly to show how we put together a collective creation inspired by the poetry and the meaning behind this song, so students develop a rich connection with the lyrics, and our planet. Click below to see what they've done. This is being done in connection with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra's "Manitoba Mosaic" concerts that they created for students across Manitoba and beyond, and I was honoured to create the lesson for this piece, and so thrilled that Kelly Bado said I could use the song to create the video of students dancing to share on this page: You can check out the live Earth Day events by clicking on this picture below: And finally, a throw back to last year's Earth Day where I created a little video for us to sing along together, with favourites like Notre Terre, by Jake Chenier! Click below to read more about our amazing environment assembly that the Enviroclub students created, practiced, and shared with the whole school in January 2020! Happy Earth Day!!
Hey, EnviroClub! Remember that I talked about how the the City of Winnipeg is going to start a composting service for the whole city? It’s starting! They have a pilot project starting up! Remember I had tried to get our school into the pilot project? Then school was closed... but I’m still glad to hear it is happening! Click on THIS LINK to read more!
A few weeks ago I made a post about a trail that I was hoping would be developed so people could get a neat new view of our city. Click on the picture below to see the post I'm talking about!
Well check out this cool tweet to see the updated trail! My hope is for it to go all the way to Garbage Hill/Westview Park but I don't think it does just yet... but getting closer!
I visited our butterfly garden today! Look at all the Monarch Caterpillars! When I think back to the first year of our ESGEnviroClub in 2015 and that the first thing students back then wanted was a butterfly garden, it is so great to see what has happened! You can read more about how the families of the ESG PAC helped by providing funds for the butterfly garden as part of their plan to add natural features to the playground, and many families came out to help build it!

Here is a beautiful song by Kelly Bado about our earth: I loved reading her thoughts about her song: “Like a mother, she gives us, continuously, natural resources. She is doing her best to take care of all the people, so we should remember that and also give back.” Click on the image below to read more from this awesome article about Kelly Bado's "Hey Terre", article by Heather Kitching: Also an interesting children's book called "What Happened When We All Stopped", narrated by Jane Goodall: I am happy to have discovered an amazing blog full of activities for nature! Check these out for fun summer activities that are nature-friendly!
