Whistler Waldorf School’s year-long, student-powered sustainability efforts—from zero-waste events and community panels to composting and fundraising—earned them Canada’s highest school-environmental distinction, solidifying sustainability as part of their school culture and setting the stage for future environmental leadership.
Principal Eleanor West praised the Platinum Certification from EcoSchools Canada, as a reflection of the school’s “enduring dedication to fostering environmental leadership among students,” adding that the certification demonstrates “the power of collective action in creating lasting, meaningful change.”
