Pollution Solutions Program

The MIRS, in liaison with the Mayne Island Library, commenced a program in January 2020 with the Mayne Island Public School called Pollution Solutions. It was to run until Earth Day in mid-April. The program targeted two age groups — K to Grade 3, and Grades 4 to 7. A major part of the program was completed. Environmental books were purchased for the school library, storytime and research-related projects were accomplished, and a recycled art project coordinated by Annette Witteman was held. Unfortunately the Earth Day event and the tour of the Recycling Depot had to be cancelled because of the Covid-19 restrictions. The cooperation with the school was a very positive one from the viewpoint of all, and we felt very grateful to have had our proposal accepted. It resulted in the teachers devoting this semester
to environmental studies in their study plan.
