Secondary Resources
In the secondary panel we are excited to introduce: five revised curriculum documents in the areas of Grade 9 Geography, Grade 10 Civics, Grade 10 Science, Grade 11 & 12 Geography and Grade 11 & 12 Science.

Each of these resources highlights environmental education opportunities within specific courses and identifies areas to incorporate environmental issues into existing curriculum.

We hope these resources both inspire and support you as you continue to deepen ecological literacy within your schools and across the province!
