Over 400 classrooms in the GTA participated in the 2008 -2009 EcoSchools program. Educators who returned their student’s conservation assignments to the Clean Air Partnership were automatically entered in contests for presentations from the Clean Air Champions by National or Olympic athletes, Scientists in the School Classroom Workshops and pizza lunches.
