Greater Sudbury schools invited to participate in "Ugliest Schoolyard Contest"

VETAC, Greater Sudbury's Regreening Advisory Panel, invites local schools to enter the annual Ugliest Schoolyard Contest. The winning school will win a prize package worth thousands of dollars to make its schoolyard greener, healthier and more student-friendly. This contest has been made possible by financial contributions from Sudbury INO, a Glencore Company in the amount of $50,000.
 
The contest deadline is May 15, 2014. Entry forms and details about the regreening work done by past winners can be found at www.greatersudbury.ca/VETAC. Questions about the contest can be directed to Wayne Hugli at whugli@hotmail.com or Tina McCaffrey at tina.mccaffrey@greatersudbury.ca.
 
The Ugliest Schoolyard Contest was initiated by the Canadian Biodiversity Institute and Earth Day Ottawa in 1998.  For further information, visit www.biodiversityonline.ca.
