Trash Dashers Saskatoon

Spruce up your exercise routine by joining Trash Dashers this summer!
 Trash Dashers is a local initiative and is community fitness at its best: it’s free, fun, interactive and helps maintain our health and the health of our community. People of all ages, abilities, and fitness levels are encouraged to join us in rain, snow or shine so encourage your friends and family (and pets!) to come along too!

Every Sunday morning during the summer months we meet at 9:00a.m. in parks around Saskatoon to do a walking or jogging park clean-up until litter has found its way to a garbage can and recyclables have been collected. Our schedule for 2011 can be found under the info section of our facebook page or on our website: http://trashdashers.jimdo.com/schedule

Research Opportunity

I'm looking for research participants to take part in my master's project. Please contact me if interested or pass this along to others you think might want to participate.  Thank you.ShannonNOTE: please do not distribute this information to listservs without their permission. Thank you.

Now is your chance to incorporate ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION into your day-to-day lives!
Teachers and their families* are being provided with the opportunity to participate in an action-based environmental education program.
This program will enable teachers to explore and engage in environmentally responsible actions in their daily lives and achieve new life practices with the support of their families and other families in Saskatoon. 
Participants will be rewarded for their involvement and reimbursed for environmental resources and other costs incurred.

*The term “family” refers to a collective of individuals living in a household who identify themselves as a family. Voluntary involvement from the whole family is necessary. 
This 5 month research project will start in September, 2010. 
For more information, please contact Shannon Dyck SLD492@MAIL.USASK.CA or (306) 880-0373
This program is the focus of a Master’s research study being offered through the School of Environment and Sustainability, University of Saskatchewan
