Envirothon competitions are intended to bring students from diverse locations and backgrounds together in a fun and challenging atmosphere in which the problem solving, teamwork, and environmental skills built through participation in Envirothon are put to the test!

Provincial Competition: April 17th and 18th 2010

Each spring, Envirothon BC holds it's provincial competition.  Over the course of two days, students get a chance to put their knowledge and skills to the test by completing field work and oral presentations while competing against other secondary school students.  The winners of Envirothon BC's provincial competition are eligible to represent BC in the Canon Envirothon North American competition.

Day 1:  Field Day in Richmond Nature Park Saturday April 17th
Students visit a local ecosystem and are given an introduction to the area by a local resource professional.  Students then conduct a collection of field data and answer area specific problem-solving type questions.

Day 2:  Oral Presentations  at A.R. MacNeill Secondary
Students are asked to draw upon data gathered in the field in day one, a resource package, and their own skills and expertise in order to develop and present a project outline. Each student group creates and presents an original, 20 minute, oral presentation on a specific question posed about an area of possible management for the field site.
