Grade 11 students Jasper Bain, Angela Gamayao, and Megan Morant came to the Infrastructure Renewal and Public Works committee to make the case for mixing salt — with hemp hurd.
The city is exploring ways to cut its use of road salt as a means of providing traction on slippery winter streets.
Inspired by a contest — Caring for our Watersheds — sponsored by agricultural company Nutrien and administered through Ducks Unlimited at Oak Hammock Marsh, the trio started the project as part of their chemistry class.
With the help of their teacher, they began experimenting by mixing salt with locally-grown hemp.
"Hemp hurd is actually created from the stalk of the hemp plant. So, the stalk is something that is not used for a lot of different things right now. But we think that using it as an aid to salt-based de-icers on the roads could be a really good place that it could be used," Bain said.

Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
We are all Treaty People. Very timely presentation as we are currently aware of the loss of life of 215 children in one of over 133 schools lost during the residential school days. Yes, and this is during our lifetimes.

June 6. Thank you for featuring the video "We are all Treaty People" and the history of the Anishinabek people and how they governed themselves.

June 8. Attended regular posted weekly RECCO meeting featuring presentation by Sophie Scott on "Why we laugh." The short Clip on "The DNA Journey" was amazing. Absolutely demolishes the concept of prejudice based on origin and ethnicity.
