Youth Care About our Watershed!

The Calgary Current youth are hard at work, researching and writing proposals that answer the question "What can you do to improve your watershed?"

The annual Caring For Our Watershed student contest is once again upon us! Sponsored by Agrium and coordinated through the City of Calgary's Parks, Environment, and Education department, the contest was launched in Southern Alberta in 2010. Students must research their local watershed, identify an environmental concern and come up with a realistic solution.

Community judges select the top entries to compete at a final competition.

Cash awards are given to groups and students who participate. There is also implementation funding available.

All proposals are due Friday April 13! Read here for submission guidelines. 


Members of the Calgary Current were very successful in last year's Caring for Our Watershed contest, placing first, second (two Calgary Current students tied for second), fourth, and tying for sixth.


Additionally, we are pleased to announce the implementation of last year's first place proposal, a Native Plant Campaign.  Check back here for more details surrounding Planting Day, scheduled for late May 2012!
