Every term, Kelli engages her students with a biologically-based activism project that teaches them the importance of biology and nature outside the classroom. In the spring of 2012, Kelli and 27 of her Grade 11 students, decided to support WWF-Canada and Coastal First Nations of B.C on the Canadians for the Great Bear campaign. The students raised money for the campaign and delivered a petition with more than 500 signatures to the Prime Minister’s office calling for protection of the Great Bear. Most impressive yet, Kelli and her students each researched and wrote letters to the Federal Joint Review Panel, which is tasked with assessing the merits of the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline project. Because of their efforts, dedication, and passion for Canada’s natural places, Kelli and her students are all Canadians for the Great Bear. © WWF-Canada
