* Granted $2,000 for an environ-mentoring program.
Project objectives:
To foster a sense of environmental stewardship in at-risk youth in the Guelph community, while providing the benefits of mentoring that are present in all BBBS programs. Through a partnership with the Grand River Conservation Authority, this program will be provided by trained nature interpreters with the hope that the youth develop a sense of environmental stewardship, and learn the importance of improving water quality, mitigating flood damage, maintaining a reliable water supply, facilitating watershed planning, protecting natural areas, and biodiversity.
