City looks for ugliest schoolyard

Schools in Greater Sudbury are invited by the city to participate in the “Ugliest Schoolyard Contest.”

Greater Sudbury's regreening advisory panel VETAC (Vegetation Enhancement Technical Advisory Committee) will award a prize package “worth thousands of dollars” to help make the winning schoolyard “greener, healthier and more student friendly” according to a press release.

The deadline to enter the contest is May 5, 2011.

The ugliest schoolyard contest was started by the Canadian Biodiversity Institute and Earth Day Ottawa in 1998.
