Many schools at the District have shown amazing leadership in Environmental Stewardship over the course of the 2017-2018 school year. This year we have 7 additional schools certified under the Ontario EcoSchools program. Bringing us to a total of 51 schools certified! The results are outstanding with 8 schools certifying at the Bronze level, 25 at the Silver level, 15 at the Gold level, and 2 schools at the Platinum level.
