Harbour View Children’s Centre
We had a bit of a discussion and found it hard to award to one person.
The people who we wanted to celebrate were preschool room children and educators, and Sam our cook.
They have all been instrumental in the success of our compost bin and worm farm project. Through their ongoing commitment, dedication, and willingness to share information and helpful tips, the project has grown into something truly special. Families are now taking home compost, contributing their food scraps, and actively engaging in the process.
What makes this achievement even more meaningful is that the entire initiative is child-driven, with educators and Sam providing only minimal guidance. Their passion has inspired the children, who in turn have passed that enthusiasm on to the whole community. This shared commitment (and the amazing Angie) is the reason the project has been such an outstanding success.
