The first in a series of Destination Conservation inservices for year
number four took place at the Sudbury Catholic District School Board’s
Education Centre recently. Destination Conservation, (DC) is a multi
year program designed for school boards to improve their energy use,
water consumption and waste management practices. School conservation
teams comprised of school principals, contact teachers and custodians
participated in discussions involving Energy Efficiency Opportunities
and the integral roles they play in helping to implement these energy
saving procedures. As a result of their intensive efforts over the last year, schools participating in DC have received savings rebate cheques which are used to purchase environmentally related items to enhance conservation efforts. In the above photo, Eric Foster, Managing Director of the Dearness Society, highlights a key point in water management to the conservation teams.
