News
EEON is in the process of establishing priorities and directions.
Among those being considered are working toward both a provincial and national
assessment of Ontarians' and Canadians' environmental knowledge, attitudes
and behaviours and also a comprehensive portal web site for environmental
literacy and education - formal, non-formal and informal for all Ontarians.
Suggestions and support for these are welcome at admin@eeon.org.
On December 1, 2011, the NAAEE released its new Framework for Assessing
Environmental Literacy. Visit http://www.naaee.net/framework for more information.
