Describe the project (This description appears in your map point. Insert a photo if you choose by selecting the "tree" icon): 

The messages of pride, respect and one play at a time were presented by members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders during GreenZone Sustainability Blitz - Speaker Series pep rallies throughout the province in May. SaskWater was a champion sponsor of the program which included school-wide pep rallies followed by water seminars under the theme "Water and Its Relation to Sustainability" in Grade 5 and 6 classrooms. During the pep rallies, the Roughriders referred to the Four Rs - Rethink, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle - as they challenged students to races based on water and energy conservation, and recycling. During the classroom seminars, it was evident many of the players involved had education backgrounds. The students were completely engaged as they discussed the water cycle, water composition in the body and conservation and preservation practices. SaskWater sponsored GreenZone Sustainability Blitz events took place in Aberdeen, Bruno, Warman, Martensville, Wakaw, Cudworth, Bellevue, St. Louis, Muenster, Humboldt and Annaheim.
