The Green School concept, under names such as Eco Schools, Enviroschools, Green Schools, Sustainable Schools and ResourceSmart School, is visualized as a school guided by the principles of environmental sustainability.
Green Schools movements have emerged as a feature of the education systems of many countries and can trace their origins to needs identified at a 1992 United Nations conference for the involvement of youth in environmental protection and the promotion of economic and social development.
The competition, which, unfortunately, has been in hiatus since 2019 because of COVID-related school closures, is part of a series of initiatives from the Canada Green Building Council and the Canada Coalition for Green Schools. Members of the council include designers, architects, engineers, construction companies, owners and operators.
Despite being in a smaller Alberta community, Lacombe High School maintains sustainability as a core value throughout the school’s programming in a variety of ways.• an environmental club that over the past 15 years has raised funds for 32 solar arrays;• outdoor gardens;• complete composting of about 25 kg of organic waste from its kitchen per month; and
• a five-year sustainability plan focused on reducing environmental footprint and the creation of a healthy, sustainable community; • a “Farm Field Forest” initiative enabling students to build a greenhouse and shed and work on a 0.2-hectare farm to harvest vegetables for the school’s dining room and the local community health centre.
The systems being monitored in real time are visible in a place where students can keep track of energy use every day, including solar water heating, photovoltaic systems, rainwater harvesting and a weather station.
