With spring just around the corner, Earth Rangers, an innovative non-profit organization that inspires children to protect animals and their habitats, is packing up and preparing for a two week tour of the Cornwall area. Earth Rangers will deliver it’s free school program to Cornwall area schools from Monday March 22 – Thursday April 1, 2010.
The free, multimedia shows are presented to students in grades one through eight. The primary show focuses on water quality, takes students on a virtual canoe trip and teaches them the importance of responsible water use. The junior program includes a short video demonstrating how one child can waste energy doing common household activities. Through an interactive game show concept, kids learn how they can save energy in their daily lives.
The intermediate presentation calls upon the students to be ‘voices for change’ and shows them how the choices they make about the products and services they use can help have a positive impact on the environment. All of the shows are highly interactive and feature live animal ambassadors, which create a lasting impression and inspire kids to help protect nature.
A two year, $171,500 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant has made it possible for Earth Rangers to take its shows on the road to reach underserved communities in Ontario, from Sault Ste. Marie in the northwest to Cornwall in the east. The Ontario Trillium Foundation is an agency of the Government of Ontario. The Foundation supports the growth and vitality of communities across the province. For more information, please visit www.trilliumfoundation.org.
Earth Rangers has also established partnerships with local environmental organizations such as St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmental Sciences. These groups will help students recognize the many resources they have available to them within their own community.
