2024 Project: An Educational Comic Book

Written by: The 2024 Youth Water Council

Illustrated by: Amanda Schulz

The Youth Water Council put their heads together to choose a project that spoke to them. The ‘River Time Vortex Extravaganza!’ story is the product of months of learning, discovery, deliberation, and project planning. The council hopes this comic will help readers feel a greater connection to the watershed and all it does for us.

Comic Summary:

Two siblings camping near the North Saskatchewan River are taken on a journey back in time to discover the importance of watershed health and respecting our rivers. Join them as they make new friends and gain a new perspective on the waters that give them life in this River Time Vortex Extravaganza!

See the official comic poster and postcard. These can be shared to promote this project! Each include a QR code that links to the digital version of the comic.
