Description
The Legislative Assembly of British Columbia
4th Session
42nd Parliament
A
Member
for
Colonial
mission
speaker
well
on
February
23rd.
After
a
tight
competition
with
a
close
decision,
the
2023
sustainable
development
challenge
in
Kelowna
has
declared
a
winner
each
year.
This
program
allows
students
to
work
alongside
Community
organizations
and
non-profits
to
devise
a
plan
to
embark
on
a
more
sustainable
future.
This
competition
promotes
their
Innovation
and
ideas,
allowing
these
ideas
artwork
and
solutions
to
be
showcased
to
the
community.
The
students
choose
an
environmental
issue
that
they're
passionate
about
and
work
to
address
problems
and
provide
solutions
for
all
of
our
future.
A
During
the
event,
the
top
six
teams
were
selected
to
present
their
plan
to
a
live
judging
panel
and
audience
and
I've
heard
from
the
students
that
the
mayor
was
the
most
intimidating,
the
teams
were
scored,
then
out
of
it
out
of
a
score
of
20
using
a
rubric
sheet.
After
hearing
all
six
pitches,
the
judges
combined
their
scores
and
determined
the
team's
rankings
this
this
year.
A
Trophy
the
willowstone
academy
team
was
the
youngest
team
to
enter,
and
these
grades
seven
to
nine
were
actually
competing
against
those
that
were
in
early
University.
They
were
absolutely
ecstatic
with
the
win.
We
still
can't
believe
that
we
won.
They
said
we
are
super
excited
to
plant
trees
and
help
improve
our
community's
biodiversity
crisis.
They
said
on
the
winning
team.
