Hundreds of students will descend on C.M. Wilson Conservation Area to learn more about water.
The 12th annual Chatham-Kent Lambton Children’s Water Festival will take place at the conservation area in Blenheim from Tuesday to Thursday.
The program delivers hands-on interactive activities covering five water themes — water science, water technology, water conservation, water protection and water attitude.
“This annual water festival has delivered our water education program (with core messages around water) to a succession of Grade 4/5 students over the last 11 years in hopes that a new generation of positive thoughts and actions around water and associated issues may develop,” organizers said in a release.
Organizers anticipate that over 600 elementary school students from the Lambton Kent District School Board, St. Clair Catholic District School Board, the French School Board and the Chatham Christian School Board will be attending.
Since 2007, over 18,000 elementary and 3,300 high school students, have taken part in the festival.
