On Friday the 6th October 2017, graduate students from G³⁶⁰ Institute for Groundwater Research did a 75 min workshop with the grade 12 students at Guelph Collegiate Vocational Institute (GCVI). The class (~15 students) was a combined Environmental Resource Management course and an Environmental Systems and Societies course. The workshop involved a brief overview presentation on groundwater and some demonstrations with Guelph area rock core and an aquifer tank.

On Wednesday August 20th, 2017, graduate students from the G³⁶⁰ Institute for Groundwater Research participated in the Let’s Talk Science High-School Open House at the University of Guelph. The G³⁶⁰ booth included rock core obtained from the local bedrock aquifer used for the City of Guelph and surrounding communities’ water supplies and a bench-scale hydrogeologic model for visualization of groundwater flow. Over 20 members of the public visited the display and it was very well received.
