Eco Initiatives


Yorkview PS continues on its Platinum path of Eco initiatives. We are the proud recipient of the "Platinum Eco Certification"  since 2012. The Waste Stations in our hallways are in full use which is making a big difference in terms of diverting waste that would otherwise go to landfills. Reducing energy at Yorkview remains a commitment by all classrooms with monitors checking classrooms regularly to ensure that lights are turned off when students are out.  Our monthly Earth Hour will continue this practice on the last Friday of each month. 

Our Eco literacy is well embedded in our literacy curriculum and continues to be the focus and the big idea for many of the literacy units delivered in the classrooms.
