Sustainability in Motion

Sustainability in Motion (Gr. 5-12)

Using Grouse Mountain’s Blue Grouse sustainability efforts as an example, this program aims to bring awareness to today’s youth about their environment, surrounding wildlife and the many things they can do to sustain and support both. This full-day program examines alternate forms of energy and culminates in an inspiring visit to The Eye of the Wind, BC’s largest energy-producing wind turbine. Students will ascend to 57 metres above Grouse Mountain’s peak in the turbine elevator and stand inside the glass-enclosed viewPOD, where they will see the turbine’s massive rotating blades from less than 2 metres away.
