Freshwater, Plants, and People Program

Funding from the Ottawa Community Foundation made it possible for the next generation of environmental stewards to explore their local environment and learn about the impacts people have on native plant species and freshwater health. Grade 1-6 classes at Carleton Heights Public School and W.E. Gowling Public School received the “Freshwater, Plants, and People Program”.

Ottawa Faith Community Capacity Building Program

This two-year project led by Greening Sacred Spaces and Watersheds Canada provided Ottawa and surrounding area faith communities with the tools and resources their leaders and volunteers needed to identify a freshwater stewardship need in their community and begin this project using an information toolkit and a microgrant program opportunity. This Program was possible thanks to generous funding from the Ottawa Community Foundation, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, and the Living Cities Canada Fund of Green Communities Canada.

Shoreland and Freshwater Health Multimedia Experience

This project includes an education video lesson and Ontario-curriculum linked lessons and activity sheets, and an education workshop.

It is generously funded by TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, and Wildlife Habitat Canada.

Nature Discovery kits

In partnership with Haliburton Outdoors 4 Youth Club and The Land Between, Watersheds Canada launched a free Nature Discovery Kit project in Haliburton and Peterborough. Each kit included field equipment and activities for youth and their families to identify local species, explore and connect with nearby nature, and learn more about local water quality. Participants chose from a forest themed kit or a freshwater themed kit and workbook. This project was funded by the Arthur and Audrey Cutten Foundation.
