Environmental Education

The Municipality has long recognized the importance of educating the community on environmental issues.  Since 2008 the Municipality has been conducting educational events to help learn how we all directly impact our local environment.

We provide private tours for educational groups:

  • Water Treatment Plant Tour
  • Wastewater Treatment Plant Tour

We offer interactive presentations to a variety of age groups on the following topics:

  • Watersheds
  • Recycling

To book a tour, presentation or for any further information on environmental educational events offered by the Municipality please contact us.
