2009 Environmental Fair:
"Creatures of Habitat - Days of Action 2009"

History of "Creatures of Habitat - Days of Action 2009"

Britta Frombach and Susi McMillan connected in December 2007 and the concept for "Creatures of Habitat - Days of Action 2009" was born. Uniting Ian Bruce of Peninsula Streams, Anne-Marie Daniels of the Roy Group, Britta Frombach of SIWC, Susi McMillan of Riverbank Designs, and Tina Pierik of SD #63 the SIWC environmental committee was established by March 2008.

This event has now evolved to partnering with students from Royal Roads University to create experiential opportunities for University students while educating the younger generation. These Days of action events target youth of today who will be the heroes of tomorrow. The events will inspire Grade 6 students to care for their local environment, learn solutions and build skills to uncover how the wider world works.

Through Community Student Interviews (CSI) before the event to Superhero visits after, the educational series culminates on Earth Day 2009 at the Mary Winspear Centre, sidney BC. The SD #63 Peninsula Environmental Superhero contest winner will be unveiled and there will be activities, presentations and field trips to inspire Peninsula students – the leaders of the future – on the path to wellness.
