Environment
This committee networks with other like minded environmental groups locally and nationwide. They get involved in community efforts such as clean ups and local Earth Day events, local recycling endeavours, water conservation and projects that span across the country. For many years our Environment committee was involved in a Earth Day in the schools program where we had an opportunity to talk to children for JK up to Grade 12 on environmental issues and how we can all help. We would annually participate in and speak at Earth Day events at Malcomson Park in St. Catharines. We also networked with other organizations on Prevent Cancer campaigns and banning the use of cosmetic pesticides
