    TORONTO, Dec. 2 /CNW/ -What:       Ms. Stevenson's grade eight class will receive Canadian
                Tire's first 'Green School Challenge Award' in recognition of
                the steps the students are taking inside and outside of the
                classroom to help the environment. The 30 students submitted
                an entry outlining their eco-friendly activities, which
                included developing a "Green Games Carnival' intended to help
                teach the younger kids at the school about the environment.

                an award presentation at the school.

    Background: The 'Green School Challenge Award' was created by Canadian
                Tire to recognize classes who are actively taking steps to
                help the environment. One winning class was chosen in
                Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, Ottawa and Toronto. To
                recognize each of the classes, Canadian Tire will be planting
                trees throughout the school yard in the spring and providing
                each of the winning kids with an eco-friendly gift bag and
                pizza party.
