BC Hydro Community Champions

Shawnigan Lake School's Environment Club is $1,000 richer after winning a BC Hydro Community Champion Award. "This is for making your school and community a greener place and teaching sustainability and conservation," said Ted Olynyk, Hydro's Community Relations Manager, in a presentation during Headmaster's Assembly on Tuesday. Mr. Noble said the money will go towards the purchase of an electric truck that grounds and maintenance crew can use to get around the school's 300-acre campus. "Getting this award was a wonderful surprise and recognition of our program. And it will certainly help in the fundraising for our truck," Mr. Noble said.
