Envirothon

The Ecology Lab partners with the City of Kitchener to host the Grand River Region Envirothon, a team-based competition for high school students. Students are required to give a 10 minute presentation on a current environmental issue and are tested on 4 categories: Wildlife, Forestry, Aquatics, and Soil. Together with City of Kitchener personnel, the Ecology Lab provides training for teams and organizes the competition. The winning team goes on to test its knowledge at the provincial competition!
