Huron University College Scotiabank Scholars 2024Ìý
ÌÇÐÄÖ±²¥ (UTRCA) Community Education staff partnered with Huron’s Scotiabank Scholars for a third year, offering an intensive high school English credit and breaking down barriers for students from across the watershed. This year, the theme was water.
On the first day of the course, students visited Fanshawe Conservation Area where they learned about the UTRCA’s core missions and challenges. The class enjoyed a tour of the Watershed Conservation Centre and Fanshawe Dam before participating in activities that combined conservation science with the art of communicating that knowledge to the public.

The following day, UTRCA staff visited Huron College where they led students on a walk of the Medway Creek and met one-on-one with students to assist with topic choice and thesis development for their final projects. On the final day of the course, UTRCA staff returned to Huron to attend a ‘Pitch Fair’ where students showcased their research and working thesis.Ìý
