Green Actions Centre
Come make seed bombs with us! Students will get to put together their very own seed bomb to take home at the end of the day to plant in the garden, yard or flower bed!
Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre
From owls, hawks and falcons, to reptiles and amphibians – you’ll have a chance to meet them up close! Together, we will discuss adaptations, conservation, ecology, and the biology of each species! We will also talk about why these ambassadors are permanent residents here at Wildlife Haven and how they help to educate the public about native Manitoba Wildlife!

Come learn how to use a bike rack on a Winnipeg Transit bus, and see how quickly you can put it on the rack and take it off again!
Fireweed Co-op
Use a board that shows the growing season months and various vegetables and fruits to pin onto the board in the spot that corresponds with when that item is harvested. We’ll also have a diagram showing the components of healthy soil and why that’s important for clean air!
Bike Winnipeg
Join us in learning bike hand signals, racing in potato sack, and playing ladder toss!
Green Kids inc.
A found-object puppetry station, facilitated by two eco-drama instructors. Turn found objects into active transportation machines and create characters to demonstrate how awesome moving through town powered by people–fuel can be.

“By the end of the day students were all telling us that they were having, “the best day!”, and asking if we would be able to come back next year!”
