Summer Fun in the Sand!

Thanks to all who participated in the Discover Sandcastles Event held on the beachfront on August 15. The importance of water conservation and recycling was shared via a variety of fun eco-games! LOTS of pledges to protect the environment were made with creative button making. Opportunities to continue the committment to help the environment back at home were offered by BurlingtonGreen's new eco-challenge!


A big thanks to our dedicated volunteers for their time and energy offered on this very hot day!

Have some good green fun! Check out the following websites for some fun games and activities with an eco-focus. Hey, which website is your favourite? Let us know in the poll over to the right. Do you have a favourite eco site not listed here? We would love to learn about it so pass it on here.
