THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 More than 4,000 students expected at Halton Children's Water Festival The seventh annual Halton Children's Water Festival (HCWF) is slated for September 25 to 28, with more than 4,000 Halton students from Grades two to five registered to participate. The four-day festival takes place outdoors at Kelso Conservation Area in Milton. The Halton Children's Water Festival continues to educate children about one of the world's most precious resources, water. "Having attended the Children's Water Festival for several years, I have seen first hand how quickly children embrace the message about the importance of water," said Gary Carr, Halton's Regional Chair. "The Water Festival provides an opportunity for Halton children from Grades two to five to learn in a hands-on manner while developing knowledge of water-related environmental issues that they will be able to share with their families and friends long after the festival ends." Students at the Festival will experience a unique opportunity to learn about water in a fun and interactive way at activity centres which cover Ontario curriculum requirements. New this year, French language activity centres will be piloted with Grade five French Immersion students on September 27. The HCWF features nearly 60 activity centres that incorporate four main water related themes: · Wa t e r S c i e n c e a n d Technology · Water Conservation and Protection · Water Health and Safety · Water and Society "Since the Halton Children's Water Festival began in 2006, more than 25,000 children have participated which shows the demand and interest for high quality environmental education in our community," said Conservation Halton Chairman John Vice. "The Festival's success is due to the enthusiastic participation by volunteers, teachers and students backed by the commitment of partner organizations as well as tremendous support from individuals and businesses in the community. We thank everyone who has participated and contributed to the Water Festival over the past seven years." The Festival is co-hosted by Conservation Halton and Halton Region in partnership with, the Halton District School Board, the Halton Catholic District School Board, the City of Burlington, the Town of Halton Hills, the Town of Milton, and the Town of Oakville. This partnership has created a successful and financially sustainable water festival in Halton. Conservation Halton Chairman John Vice and Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr serve as the Festival's honorary co-chairs. The Festival is offered to Halton schools at a cost of just $5 per child, which includes a full day at the Festival as well as transportation to and from the event. Schools seeking Ontario EcoSchools certification can count their attendance at the HCWF as a field trip in the Curriculum category (one submission per grade level).
