Today is Earth Day (April 22) and all week long, schools in the Kincardine area have been celebrating the environment by doing a multitude of Earth Week activities, from playground clean-ups to performances at assemblies. Carol Blake and the Kincardine Township-Tiverton Environmental Green School Project (KttEGSP) have also been working hard, collecting accumulated commissions from BioBag Canada Inc. and Green Shift on products purchased by local organizations. A total of $1,500 in commissions was disbursed this week, with each of the five local schools receiving a cheque for $300, to put toward green initiatives.
