Students make a difference by cleaning Polson Park
Local students are taking action to combat climate change by cleaning up Vernon’s best known park.
The event in Polson Park will be held from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. this Friday (Oct. 28), and is organized by Seaton Secondary student Ava Walker.
“I want to be able to show people that anyone can take action to help fight climate change. No matter how small you think your efforts are, you can always make a positive difference,” Walker, a founding member of the Vernon Youth Conservation Society, said.
A number of student volunteers have agreed to participate and organizers have raised over $100 to purchase the clean-up supplies.
