Annual Nova Scotia Recycles Contest

Thanks to all the teachers and students who submitted entries for the 2007 Nova Scotia Recycles Contest. Our judging committee reviewed over 8700 entries from more than 230 schools!

Students were honoured at awards celebrations across the province in February, and were rewarded with a variety of prizes, including backpacks, movie passes and many environmentally friendly products made from recycled material. Dozens of schools were also recipients of cash prizes totalling more than $30,000!

The grand prize winner of the $5,000 scholarship, Nicole Crozier of Charles P. Allen High School in Bedford, was surprised at an awards ceremony that took place at the Brightwood Golf and Country Club in Dartmouth. Nicole's well researched and well written essay was titled "Changing Youth Consumer Habits," and focused on ways to educate our youth to be more environmentally conscious consumers.
