to these questions,
PRESENTATIONS We are at this time looking for a volunteer education coordinator please email John Roe volws@salishsea.ca As an introduction to our education programs, email (see address below) the education coordinator at the Veins of Life Watershed Society to book a presentation. The coordinator will be happy to accommodate requests such as: topics of focus, special needs, types of activities, etc. The following are presentations we currently offer: WATERSHED STEWARDSHIP  A
Power Point presentation (and activities) that outlines the principals
of watershed stewardship. This presentation is designed to provide
the necessary prerequisites for further participation. Topics
covered: watersheds, impervious versus pervious surfaces, storm drain
and sewer systems, spill reporting, non-point source pollution, the
water cycle, freshwater and its value, health related issues, and watershed
stewardship. For the younger audience, a game is played at the
end to review and sum up concepts they have learned during the presentation.
This presentation is made for ages 8 and up. 
After
an introductory to watershed stewardship, students have the opportunity
to paint bright yellow fish beside storm drains. Storm drain marking
is ideal for the elementary crowd!
 Take
a tour of a local storm drain system. Learn to read maps of the
underground world of pipes. Sneak a peak under a manhole cover. Follow
the rain from rooftops to the outfalls.
ADOPT-AN-OUTFALL AND WATER QUALITY TESTING  Adopt-an-Outfall
training. Do you want to make a commitment? Once or twice a month visit
an outfall in your neighbourhood and test the quality of water that
flows out of it. Adopt-an-Outfall training prepares your way with
an overview on how to use the manual, sample water quality testing experiments,
tips and suggestions, how to get water quality testing kits, and an
opportunity to ask questions.
A NOTE
to educators: Presentations correspond with the following curriculum
topics: water, pollution, environmental stewardship, watersheds, community
responsibility, and environmental chemistry.
