The Environmental and Sustainability Advisory Committee’s (ESAC) Brook Never Sleeps workshop returns for another year of engaging, hands-on activities. This free, full-day interactive event offers local youth an opportunity to explore the ecology of the Uxbridge Brook in a fun and educational setting.
The event is being held in Council Chambers at Town Hall, 51 Toronto St. S. It will take place on Friday, November 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. — a PA Day for both elementary and high school students. Lunch and snacks will be provided.
Designed for youth aged 10–14, participants will engage in a variety of activities, including trapping minnows, surveying the creek for benthic creatures, fly tying and casting, and learning about local watershed ecology. The event will also feature visits from Scales Nature Park and Ontario Streams, where children will have the opportunity to engage and interact with live animals.
Since part of the event takes place outdoors, attendees are advised to dress appropriately for the weather.
This year's workshop is made possible through partnerships with Scales Nature Park, Ontario Streams, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, Bird Friendly Uxbridge, and the Township of Uxbridge.
