A Lacombe Composite High School initiative is on the shortlist today for a provincial award recognizing individuals and organizations that raise the bar in addressing local, regional, and global environmental and climate issues.

The school’s “EcoVision” initiative aims to grow student leaders through student led projects.

Everything, EcoVision attempts, needs to enhance:

Improving Our Environment – improve our air, water or land
Enhancing Our Education – supplement the learning of individuals
Collaborating with Our Community – increase the collaboration and sharing of ideas, skills and expertise locally, provincially and globally.

This year’s projects include Roofs 4 Kids, BEE WISE, Aquaponics in the Greenhouse, and a Greenhouse project.
