Mr. Speaker, the riding of South Shore can claim a first that no other riding in Canada can claim. The first high school in Canada to attain the status of Earth School, having completed 1,000 environmental action projects, is Liverpool Regional High School in Queens County, Nova Scotia.
There are 1,771 green schools in Canada that have completed 100 projects. This is the first goal in the SEEDS Canada program. To qualify as an Earth School the students must complete 1,000 environmental projects.
There are only 94 Earth Schools in Canada and the only one at the high school level is the Liverpool Regional High School.
Congratulations to the students, teachers and staff at the Liverpool Regional High School.
