Georgian Bay Walk – Run in support of the West Parry Sound Hospital Foundation

A number of Rosseau Lake College students took part in this year’s 10th annual fundraiser, the Georgian Bay Walk-Run-Pole event. Funds are raised to purchase much-needed equipment for the West Parry Sound Health Centre, the hospital that serves our community. This year, close to $80 000 was raised, bringing the 10 year total to over $700 000! A big thank you to all those who participated!

Muskoka Conservancy Visit

Last Tuesday, the grade 9 Science class, along with the grade 11 Green Industries class, visited the Upjohn Nature Reserve just outside Bracebridge. This area is one of the Muskoka Conservancy’s 36 protected properties in the area. Volunteers from the Conservancy served as our guides as we toured the area and introduced us to a variety of local plants and animals – including swarms of mosquitoes and black flies! We learned about many of the trees and other plants in the area and the purpose they serve in the forest ecosystems. We also got to examine skulls of different animals and learned how their teeth can help us tell whether they are herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores.

The following day, Wednesday, we hosted two volunteers who spoke to us about the geology of our surroundings and how the rock formations have changed slowly over time. We walked around the school property and saw signs of succession – both biological and geological.

This was an excellent opportunity to extend our classroom and see that what we talk about inside really does exist just beyond our walls!
