Making Connections

Here at Environment Hamilton, we are always looking for new ways to collaborate with community players and members. For example, we connected with the Aboriginal Health Centre through our Greening Sacred Spaces project and held a wonderfully inspiring event with the Wisdom Keepers (Aboriginal Elders share their teachings on taking care of mother earth).

Earlier in the month, we connected with Hamilton Print Studio to give a presentation about environmental concerns/issues in our neighbourhoods and communities.

The project, called Sitelines is an introduction to print making techniques in the schools-for grades 5 and 6. The kids learn exciting printmaking skills in the context of ecologically concerns in the built environment and in relationship to 'community' (extending back into the past as in, how was it like when their grand parents, great grand parents were growing up?). They get to make fantastic art.

We visited Prince of Wales school and will be going to Queens Rangers on the 5th of April.

We are also connecting with Hamilton Youth and have started a youth group at Environment Hamilton.
