Greening the Way Ontario Learns: A Public Strategic Plan for Environmental and Sustainability Education
Environmental Education Ontario Inc. (EEON), a coalition of educators and citizens from across Ontario's wide diversity of public sectors, is proud to have facilitated the collaborative creation of Canada's first province-wide plan for environmental literacy. We're offering a plan for all Ontarians from all walks of life to work together to create a healthy, sustainable future through education.
The EEON Plan is available in Full (127 pages) and Summary (24 pages) versions, downloadable from this website in their entirety or in sections.
The EEON plan is a dynamic, interactive and lasting document designed to help all interested members
of the public advance environmental learning. Whether you are an educator, a student, a business person, a New Canadian, a Native Canadian; from government, labour, an NGO or a youth group, or any of the 17 represented sectors, you are invited and encouraged to consider the desired outcomes and the needs for your sector or audience, and to adopt strategies relevant to your audience's educational context.
Our goal is to make Environmental and Sustainability Education (E&SE) a core part of the Ontario educational experience. We are working to improve the quality, scope and status of environmental literacy in the lives of all Ontarians.
