The school is shut down for the day but the staff and students are busy and happy enough that the rain held off.

In the photos, dozens of students swarm over the point lands in Sarnia’s Centennial Park where they are planting fifty birch trees, which will make a pretty addition to the landscape in a few short years.

Smaller tree-plantings were undertaken in other municipalities all over Lambton. Lambton College’s Legacy Project volunteers, 2,300 student from the college were out in the community April 5, planting trees and maintenance in community parks. They were an oddly impressive sight in the matching blue shirts.

There were people at the LaSalle Road fire school, building picnic tables for community partners. There were students cleaning up at the Animal Shelter on Exmouth St. and any number of other community projects, projects designed to thank the people of Sarnia-Lambton for their continuing support of the college over the last fifty years. In the process they seemed to be having a good time.

 Students from the digital photography course were there to document the event and put their own skills to work.

The project was conceived as part of the college’s fiftieth anniversary celebrations.

The whole thing wound up with lunch for the volunteers back at the school.


Thanks for reading.
