Parkside
Student Volunteers
Lauren
Skerlan, an OAC student at Parkside High, who is in the
process of doing a project on why the Red Hill Valley should
remain in its natural state, was instrumental in assembling
30 students, including her teacher, to visit and enjoy a
walk through the valley on November 5. They toured the area
between King Street and Queenston Road, but this was just
a side trip for them.
Their main reason for coming was to help pick litter. A
huge area, all four inward slopes to the valley at the corner
of Mt. Albion and King, were cleared as bags and bags were
filled, and from their response, they even had fun and said
were pleased they could help and would be back.
Once again, students from various high schools are showing
their interest in the valley, not just by hiking but by
also assisting in keeping it litter free. Its our students
who are our future, and the news is certainly positive from
these groups.
