Creativity

  • York Region staff created, designed and built interactive displays and developed "hands-on" activities for children to learn about water treatment and water conservation.
  • The presence of staff allows the students to ask questions and discover there are jobs that focus on saving and preserving the environment.
  • A number of these activities are run by volunteer high school students who offered their services for the festival. This is highly encouraged as part of the Ontario high school curriculum.
Innovative displays and attractions make the York Children's Water Festival very popular.
