We are a 7/8 gifted class at Ethel Gardiner Public School in Georgetown Ontario. We are a very competitive group of students, who love to be involved in cool projects and contests like this. We enjoy putting our minds to the test, and thinking of new and innovative ideas. Our classroom is full of laughter, and jokes and once you enter the classroom, you won’t have silence until you leave because we never stop talking. We're sometimes surprised we ever get any work done. When we are given a task, we usually debate about it for a while, and then we get to work. One of our many class quotes that have been posted in the room is, “You never stop writing”. That’s what our teacher tells us to inspire us to keep working and to think of new ideas. This contest is giving us a great opportunity to share our thoughts, and make a change! Being residents of Georgetown and Acton, we live in the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the New Credit. As such, we are a part of the Credit Valley Conservation Watershed, and the Silver Creek Subwatershed. Water is something that everyone of us uses daily. We use water for daily needs, such as drinking, showering, brushing our teeth etc. and even for fun activities such as swimming! There are many jobs surrounding water, and almost every other job has some sort of connection to it. One of the concerns some members of our community have about our water, is the chloride levels in our creeks. The amount of salt has increased over the years from the usage of salt on the roads in the winter. It is un-removable at this point, and is harming smaller species that connect to the big food chain. If this problem continues to occur, it could possibly cause major damage to our food cycle and our water.
