Changing Currents
Discover the Health of Your Local River!
EcoSpark's Changing Currents program introduces grade 8-12 students from across the Greater Toronto Area (Toronto, Peel, Durham, and York school boards) to their area's watersheds. Students get outside, put on hip waders, explore a local river stream, and learn about its importance and quality.
By participating in the program students will:
- use benthic macro-invertebrate bio-monitoring to examine the health of their local river or stream (it's easy!),
- contribute to a GTA-wide study of watersheds, and
- have the chance to take action around what they discover
If you are a teacher and want to register, access our resources, or know more about Changing Currents, visit the Teacher Area.
If you are a student, learn more about water quality and bio-monitoring in the Student Area.
Changing Currents is a free program within the Greater Toronto Area
