Vote for Seaview
Seaview Elementary School is being recognized for their positive impact on the environment. The school applied for the Future Ground Prize contest through the David Suzuki Foundation and was selected as one of the 15 finalists.
The Future Ground Prize highlights existing youth-led initiatives in Ontario and British Columbia that have had a positive impact on the environment and local communities. The public can vote from May 16 to June 13 for their favourite initiative to win the People’s Choice Prize. On June 22, three winners will be announced (Grand Prize, People’s Choice Prize and Rising Stars Prize). The winners will have an opportunity to present their projects to David Suzuki during an online public event.
