These presentations are offered free of charge, to classrooms of all ages or community groups in both the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and the Strathcona Regional District (SRD).

“The Power of R” includes a wide variety of classroom workshops that are designed to be stand-alone or in a series that work in conjunction over a school year or from year-to-year. The information and delivery formats of the program are continually re-worked to engage different learning styles and stay current with emerging issues.

Sessions can be booked at any time of year and can be linked into all subject areas and seasonal topics such as greening your holiday season or starting a ‘waste-free’ year. Teachers will appreciate the series, which is curriculum-linked and developed by knowledgeable educators who create memorable interactive experiences for their students.

The workshops encourage students to consider their everyday choices and how they have an impact on our world.

Teachers and group leaders can book workshops by contacting the CVRD by email:

The Comox Strathcona Waste Management (CSWM) service is a function of the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and is responsible for two regional waste management centres that serve the Comox Valley and Campbell River, as well as a range of transfer stations and smaller waste-handling and recycling facilities for the electoral areas of the CVRD and the Strathcona Regional District. The CSWM service manages over 100,000 tonnes of waste and recycled material and oversees a number of diversion and education programs.
