Excerpt:
Ajax students are getting their hands dirty and learning new skills thanks to a new agricultural course.
The Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB) partnered with Durham College’s Barrett Centre of Innovation in Sustainable Urban Agriculture for the new Propagation of Vegetables course at Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, a dual-credit course that allows students to get hands-on experience at the Barrett Centre’s Ajax Urban Farm, while earning both a secondary and post-secondary credit.
“It’s a really valuable program,” said Jennifer Hoban, community engagement co-ordinator for the Barrett Centre and the professor who works with the Notre Dame students.
“Whether or not the kids go on to be farmers, understanding what goes into the production of food and seeing the connection between what they’re eating and where it comes from is incredibly valuable.”
The course allows students to get a taste of life, and work, on the farm. Students spent the winter months in the classroom learning about agriculture, and then, once the weather warmed up, got to roll up their sleeves for hands-on experience at the farm.
