STUDENT ARTWORK PROMOTES THE IMPACT OF ENERGY CONSERVATION ON THE ENVIRONMENT

Released on June 18, 2010

Two students from the same Grade 8 class at Prince Philip School in Saskatoon have been chosen as winners of the 2010 Energy and the Environment Art Contest.

This national contest attracted more than 1,000 entries from Saskatchewan students. The contest is sponsored by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), and co-ordinated in the province by the Ministry of Energy and Resources.

Kyra Mazer created the winning artwork for Saskatchewan, entitled Clear, Clean Day. Her work will be featured in an upcoming Energy and the Environment Poster being published by Natural Resources Canada and distributed to teachers across the country.

Clear, Clean Day will also be featured in the Youth Art Gallery on the Climate Change Saskatchewan website located at www.climatechangesask.ca and on the Natural Resources Canada website at www.kidsclub.nrcan.gc.ca.

Payton Burkhart's entry, Conservation Around the World, was selected as the second-place winning artwork for Saskatchewan. Conservation Around the World will also be featured in the Youth Art Gallery on the Climate Change Saskatchewan website.

"The lifestyle changes suggested in the winning artwork could be easily adopted by anyone in our province," Energy and Resources Minister Bill Boyd said. "The students know that even small changes can make a big difference to energy conservation and the environment."

The students received their awards and prizes of electronics, books and laminated copies of their winning entries at the Prince Philip School Awards presentations today. A $300 donation was also made to the school's resource centre.

The Energy and the Environment Art Contest has been running since 1991, encouraging students in Grades 1 through 8 to depict wise energy use and conservation through artwork. NRCan selects a national award winner and the provincial government picks a second-place award recipient from among the many notable entries.
