Peterborough Children's Water Festival - 10th Anniversary!
The Peterborough Children's Water Festival (PCWF) is a community event held at the Riverview Park and Zoo. Through interactive activity centres students in grades 2 to 5 learn the importance of our most valuable resource - water. Indirectly, 
teachers, adults and high school volunteers are also exposed to messages of water protection and conservation for future generations and environmental health.
The festival revolves around a variety of stimulating and fun activities supported by the expertise of educators, water quality and quantity specialists, community volunteers, conservation groups, industry and government.
2012 marks the 11th annual PCWF. Last year, close to 1000 students from the City and County of Peterborough attended the festival. Over 160 high school and adult volunteers worked at 35 water themed activity centres.
Since its inception, over 12,000 students and 2,950 teachers and parent helpers have attended the festival. The 11th annual festival will take place May 23rd and 24th, 2012
The festival is organized and overseen by a dedicated Steering Committee that has adopted the "Children's Water Festival" model of fostering awareness of our youth. It educates others about the importance of water and the need to ensure high quality water resources for future generations and the health of our environment.
5km Family Fun Run
| Riverview supporters got in shape and helped to raise funds for the zoo. We hosted our second 5km family fun run, right here at Riverview. The running course weaved through the zoo and over our expansive parkland. A sincere THANK YOU to the Jim and Jody Mulder for organizing this event at the zoo. It was a huge success! |
