In June 2007, the Ontario provincial government pledged to accept all 32 recommendations made by a special working group on environmental education. New SPF contributor Bryan Grimwood discussed the implementation of the Bondar report on environmental education with Grant Linney, past president of the Council of Outdoor Educators of Ontario.
Then, Digory McGinn and Brittany Boychuk reported from a tree planting event at Oxbow Park, where OPIRG-Carleton is working to enhance natural spaces on campus.
Finally, Carol Hunsberger spoke with photographer Paul Galipeau from the Tumaini Children’s Project about a photography exhibit called “Pieces of Innocence.” The show features photos taken by Kenyan children who took part in a month-long workshop this past summer. The exhibit is up until October 31st in the foyer of the Lester B. Pearson Building, 125 Sussex Drive.
