Truth and Reconciliation

We are committed to a systemic approach to Indigenous Reconciliation within our organization which will aim for transformational change in our own professional development, staffing, our content and writing of educational materials including engagement with educators. We see the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation as a special time to pause, reflect and further this journey. Explore resources with Indigenous perspectives for your classroom here.

Featured Resources of the Month

Sustainability Education • Grades 9 - 12

What is Ocean Policy?

Learn about ocean policy and its objectives, international ocean governance and its importance and the application of ocean policy in Canada.

Social Studies • Grades 5 - 12

Runoff Footprint

This activity shows learners how to calculate how much of their study area is a permeable, semi-permeable or a non-permeable surface. Knowing this allows learners to estimate how much rain is soaking into the ground and how much is running off into sewers, drains and ditches. This is called a Runoff Footprint.

Science • Grades 9 - 12

Microplastics in the Environment Experiment

Learners will get to collect flowing water and/or sediment samples to analytically test for plastics via density separation and visual inspection.

I would highly recommend GreenLearning resources to any school district! They not only support the various curriculum areas (e.g. Language Arts, Social Studies, Science), but also can help districts establish networking groups around sustainability issues.
