Energy and the Environment Student Art Contest Open
Environment, Energy & Forestry
“Every year, the contest, organized by Natural Resources Canada, has students across the province thinking about wise energy use and using their creativity to help spread the word,” said Minister Brown, whose department is the provincial co-ordinator for the art contest.
Each year, Island students have taken part in the Energy and the Environment art contest. Winning artwork from each province and territory is incorporated into a poster that is distributed to classrooms across the country the following year.
Recent P.E.I. selections include: Alyta VandenBroek, Cardigan Consolidated School (2009); Jessie Woods from Rollo Bay Consolidated School (2008); Rio Hong from West Kent Elementary School (2007); Lindsay Clow from Grand Tracadie Elementary School (2006); Katie Mooney from Rollo Bay Consolidated School (2005); Julie Collier from Grand Tracadie Elementary School (2004); and Sarah McLeod from Belfast Consolidated School (2003).
“We’d like to see some of our talented young Island artists thinking about how Canadians can be more energy efficient at home, at school and on the road,” said the minister.
“I’d encourage all of our students and teachers to consider making this poster contest part of their art and science teaching this spring.”
The contest is open to students from the ages of six to 13 and the deadline for submissions is April 15. Full details are available on the Internet at www.kidsclub.nrcan.gc.ca.
