Students rewarded for their environmental efforts Continued from page 8 9 · Thursday, April 22, 2010 OAKVILLE BEAVER · www.oakvillebeaver.com West thanked all of the students for "having the courage to climb that hill and represent the environment". "I want to thank you for giving the environment a voice," he said. "This is a challenge of our world that so often doesn't have a voice. Thank you for giving it a voice and continuing to give it a voice in your schools, your universities and hopefully for the rest of your life. We can truly make this world a better place." West attended the awards on behalf of Craig Kielburger, founder of Free the Children, who was stranded in the United Kingdom due to flight cancellations caused by the volcanic ash in Iceland.
