Students in Sharla MacKinnon’s Grade 5 class at J.W. Walker School here had the opportunity to learn about the significance of “Arbour Week” yesterday as Bill Mueller, Rick Huisman, and Mike Gurski of Hydro One visited the classroom.
Although Arbour Week in Ontario ran from April 25-May 4, the students celebrated the national event later due to a snow storm at the end of April.
“Arbour Day is celebrated at different times in different places because it’s about planting and we generally can’t plant trees here in April,” Huisman explained.
