The Super Recyclers Grants
More grants to win!
Since the launch of the Super Recyclers, we have awarded grants to a school and/or a daycare at the end of each school year to promote their project so that the donation can have an impact on the school community. To date, we have awarded $7,000 in scholarships and funded more than $200,000 worth of projects.
Winners of the 2021-22 Grants
For the 2021-22 school year, The Super Recyclers presented an additional amount to the École de la Pommeraie in Saint-Hilaire to recognize them for their exemplary clothing drive. They manged a zero plastic clothing drive. More than 1200 kg of clothes were collected in bundles, paper bags and boxes. We had to applaud the effort and reward the student who dropped by class after class to show The Super Recyclers’ video to the students attending the school and teach them how to recycle their clothes without using plastic bags, an environmentally friendly gesture.
The other school that earned an additional donation was École Saint-François in Île-Perrot. Two committed teachers spread the word to the school community and the surrounding area to raise funds to support the autistic children in their school. The fundraiser was held during Autism Month. We couldn’t pass up this meaningful gesture. Congratulations!
Winners of the 2018-19 Grants
In June 2019, The Super Recyclers, accompanied by the Foundation, drew the $1,000 Grant as well as the two participation grants.
A $1,000 grant was awarded by to École de la Renaissance for a collective school project, a group initiative.
To reduce waste at École de la Renaissance, a Green Committee was created for the 2018-19 school year to raise young people’s awareness of the environment and encourage them to take small ecological measures. The amount will be used to purchase a dishwasher to avoid the use of plastic in the cafeteria at lunchtime. The school encourages environmentally friendly lunch boxes and plans zero waste days.
