The City of New Westminster, in collaboration with School District #40 Student Services Department and Green Learning Canada, is inviting Grades 5 and 6 students of New Westminster schools to participate in this year’s Environmental Poster Contest entitled “Sustainable Transportation: Now and in the Future”.
The contest provides an opportunity for students to participate in an environmentally-related activity that coincides with Earth Day on April 22nd, 2010.
Students are invited to create a coloured artwork piece that illustrates their personal commitment and/or vision on sustainable transportation in the future.
Specifics:
- Artwork provides a personal commitment to/vision on sustainable transportation for the future
