Description: Bugsy PI is on the case! Our local wetland is buzzing with worry — someone has polluted our favourite pond! A whole community of little flying and crawling critters needs your help to fix it. Let’s use our detective skills to figure out how the government helps make big decisions and who is responsible for cleaning up the mess. Together, we’ll visit all three levels of government — local, provincial, and federal — to find the right leaders who can help us solve the mystery. To save the pond, we need to ask: WHO’S IN CHARGE?
