Ready, set, certify!
EcoSchools certification represents environmental excellence for kindergarten through grade 12 schools in Canada. Participation in the program allows students, teachers, school administrators, custodians, and parents to get a clear picture of their current environmental practices and take action to reduce their environmental footprint.

Each year, schools apply for certification by undertaking environmental actions, campaigns, and projects, and then recording them in the online EcoSchools Certification Application (ECA) to earn points. At the end of the year, school applications are assessed based on a standard established over 10 years of benchmarking and are awarded a final certification level.

Registration for the 2021-2022 school year is now open (no deadline to register)! 
Certification Tip
Trying to find ways to increase your Fitbit count? Why not bike or walk to school! It's a great way to know your community on the micro level and say 'hello' to your fellow walking neighbours while reducing carbon emissions!
