#DYK if every Canadian turned down their heat by 2 °C during the winter, it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 4 megatons. That’s equivalent to taking 850,000 cars off the road!

#SweaterDay is THIS THURSDAY - Pumas, prepare to get cozy!

'Tis the Season for Giving....

A HUGE THANK YOU to Frank Panabaker Home and Schools Association and Parent Council for funding the Candy Wrapper collection bins which are available at both the North and South sites.

#GreenHalloween #EcoSchools

[Eco Schools Frank Panabaker @ecopanabaker]

Did you know that MILLIONS of Halloween candy wrappers are sent to a landfill each year?

We can change this! From now until Dec 1st bring in your candy wrappers in a sealed ziplock bag and these will be collected to be upcycled into innovative new products by @TerraCycleCA!
