A big thank you to staff and students at Rock City Elementary for supporting the Zero Waste Pilot Project in 2021-2022! On February 28, 2022, Rock City introduced new sorting stations throughout the school to encourage composting and recycling, and reduce the amount of waste going to landfills. Great work everyone!
After the recent success of the Zero Waste Pilot Project at Rock City, the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) and NLPS has extended the project into various schools across the district. This initiative will help NLPS achieve its goal of becoming a leader in environmental stewardship and sustainability.
