SaskWater GreenZone Sustainability Blitz

What does P stand for? What does R stand for? What does O stand for?

I can't hear you.

Pride, Respect and One Play At A Time, that's what it takes to be a Sustainability Pro.

This was the message presented by members of the Saskatchewan Roughriders during GreenZone Sustainability Blitz - Speaker Series pep rallies throughout the province in May. SaskWater was a champion sponsor of the program which included school-wide pep rallies followed by water seminars under the theme "Water and Its Relation to Sustainability" in Grade 5 and 6 classrooms.

During the pep rallies, the Roughriders referred to the Four Rs - Rethink, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle - as they challenged students to races based on water and energy conservation, and recycling. The students and teachers eagerly yelled out answers and shot their hands into the air when the Roughriders asked for volunteers.

During the classroom seminars, it was evident many of the players involved had education backgrounds. The students were completely engaged as they discussed the water cycle, water composition in the body and conservation and preservation practices.

SaskWater sponsored GreenZone Sustainability Blitz events took place in Aberdeen, Bruno, Warman, Martensville, Wakaw, Cudworth, Bellevue, St. Louis, Muenster, Humboldt and Annaheim.
