CUSTOMERS RELATIONSHIPS EXCELLENCE Shifting Gears 2 CAMI Assembly Environmental Team Hosts Local Schools On October 25 - 27th, CAMI Assembly hosted grade 7 and 8 students from Harrisfield Public School in Ingersoll and Algonquin Public School in Woodstock. Approximately 150 students toured CAMI’s wastewater facility over the three days as part of the GM Global River Environmental Education Network (GM GREEN) program. The GM GREEN program is a GM funded initiative, which involves community partners to help youth understand their impact on watersheds. CAMI’s Environmental team led the schools through the tour, presenting the processes and science behind industrial wastewater treatment. As part of the GM GREEN program students also participated in a water stream monitoring activity at Cedar Creek with the assistance of CAMI’s Joint Environmental Committee members. Students are currently participating in a classroom education portion with the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority to develop a project to help improve their local watershed. Students observing Robert Brown complete a waste water jar test in the CAMI Waste Water Treatment Lab.
