EcoSchools Canada

Every year, OAIA makes a donation in lieu of speakers’ gifts to an organization that is focused on environmental stewardship, human health and wellbeing or sustainability. We also consider how the organization aligns with our values of respect, diversity and inclusion, collaboration,
integrity, and accountability and transparency.

This year we recognize the work of the EcoSchools Canada in their support of environmental leadership and climate action in schools. EcoSchools Canada offers a certification program for elementary through secondary schools, nurturing environmental learning and climate action. Their innovative and bilingual certification program is free for publicly funded schools, it helps to incentivize, track and reward environmental actions that reduce energy and waste, raise awareness and incorporate environmental learning into curriculum. A $500 donation was made to EcoSchools Canada on behalf of OAIA. We encourage you to learn more about their important work.
