Donation Request For Canadian Environmental Fundraiser

RE: ENVIROTHON – Nova Scotia
Dear Minister Balser:
On behalf of the Nova Scotia Forestry Association and the “ENVIROTHON” program,
I would like to formally request a financial contribution to the ENVIROTHON
program from the Nova Scotia Department of Energy.
We are currently working on the development of inclusion of Energy, waste
reduction, and air quality into the ENVIROTHON program, with Energy being the main focus
for the next couple of years.
As you may already know, significant progress has been made in defining environmental
education and its goals over the past twenty-five years. Most K through 12
environmental education is delivered in non-formal programs outside traditional
curriculum and instruction and is exemplified by the Provincial and Canon ENVIROTHON
programs. Students demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of ecological
principles in aquatic ecology, soils and land use, forestry, wildlife, and a current
environmental issue each year.
Annually, close to 10,000 Canadian high school students participate in the ENVIROTHON.
And with over 500,000 participants from across North America, the Envirothon program
has quickly become a primary vehicle for promoting environmental literacy.
We are currently seeking a $2,500.00 contribution to the program from your department.
This contribution will recognize the Department of Energy as a major sponsor and help to
develop an “Energy” component into the ENVIROTHON program.
Please feel free to contact me so we can arrange a mutually convenient time to meet to
discuss this further. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward speaking
with you.
Sincerely,
Debbie Totten
Executive Director
Nova Scotia Forestry Association
