Contracted by the Grey Bruce Children's Water Education Council to co-ordinate an annual children's water festival to cultivate in every child and adult who participates, an understanding of and appreciation for the water they use and the environment in which they live.
The successful completion of this project set the groundwork for establishing the Festival as an important teaching vehicle for the Bluewater District School Board and the Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board to participate in each year and meet the learning outcomes set out in the New Ontario Curriculum.
Some of the many activities carried out to launch this first-ever project in Grey & Bruce Counties include: create public awareness and register over 2,000 grade 4 students; recruit and train over 600 volunteers; prepare & facilitate teacher planning workshops and resource materials; research and co-ordinate logistics for 47 festival interactive activities; design and develop all marketing materials; recruit and liaise with over 60 festival sponsors; co-ordinate all aspects of the festival site; prepare and analyze festival evaluations, prepare final festival progress reports for committee and sponsors; and assist the organizing committee and sub committees to implement all action items & critical steps.
