Ten student groups from across Alberta have been selected as finalists.  These groups of 1-4 students will present their idea answering the question “What can I do to improve my watershed”?

Their final 5 minute presentation to a panel of judges will be recorded earlier in the week, then live-streamed at the event. After the presentations we will share final results and conduct an award ceremony, providing gifts and recognition to the groups.
