Accomplishments:

1. First Geodesic Dome Greenhouse with sub-teresterial heating and cooling system built at LCHS.
OCT 5, 2013 - The greenhouse grand opening was a total success!!! We had many of the sponsors come, and we are so glad they could come and share the day with us.  We watched an amazing video, went to the ribbon cutting ceremonies, and then showed off our greenhouse with a tour.  We really wanted our greenhouse to be self-sustainable and run on little to no energy, and with a lot of work, this is what we have done. We are so proud and excited to engage the community in our efforts!  This is a big accomplishment for the EcoVision Club and the city of Lacombe.  We hope you can enjoy it with us. Once again we would love to thank all our sponsors, and volunteers, without you we couldn't have made it happen!!!
