Student Water Conservation Programs

York Children’s Water Festival

In May 2022, the York Children’s Water Festival (YCWF) held its second virtual festival, providing Grade 4 students across York Region the opportunity to learn about water conservation through a variety of interactive, engaging, curriculum-linked activities and resources.

The program helps students understand the importance of a clean and plentiful water supply, respect a healthy environment and use natural resources wisely in their own school, home and community.

The 2022 YCWF was delivered through partnerships with Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority and ClearWater Kids.

Stay tuned for more information on the 2023 program!
