Contribution to local environmental initiative
Little Green Thumbs which is a part of the Multicultural Heritage Centre
and is an indoor gardening program that gives elementary and high
school students the opportunity to become food producers right in their
own classroom. This hands on, inquiry based education program helps
young people learn the value of their health, the environment and their
community. As students actively co-operate to care for their garden,
they learn about nutrition, environmental stewardship, sustainable food
systems, and community interdependence.
