A Grade 6 class from Templeton Academy in Meadows, N.L., has been named the national winner of Mission Explorium, a Canada-wide agriculture education program that challenges students to solve real-world food and sustainability issues. More than 5,300 students in Grades 6 to 8 participated in the Agriculture in the Classroom Canada program this year. Students were tasked with designing a sustainable community on a deserted island while learning about agriculture, food systems, ecosystems and resource management.
