Saskatoon Saskatchewan, October 17, 2011
Vincent Massey Community School in Saskatoon was the gracious Host of the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council’s (SWRC) Launch of Waste Reduction Week. Principal Lisa Fleming spoke, students M.C.'d the event and gave presentations on their own and their school’s waste reduction initiatives. Mr. Erickson and his Kindergarten students, who raise vermicomposting worms and create "worm kits" for sale to the community, gave a demonstration of vermicomposting (composting using worms). The students learn animal care, ecology, waste reduction and entrepreneurship, all at the same time! Bert Weichel, Chair of the Saskatchewan Waste Reduction Council made a speech and, in recognition of the exemplary efforts of Mr. Erickson and his kindergarten class, presented them with a set of Children’s Books about Pee Wee, the vermicomposting worm (written by Larraine Roulston, who just happens to have Saskatchewan roots!) Also attending were representatives from, Recycle Saskatchewan, City of Saskatoon and SWRC Board and Staff.
