Through our unique education programs, we seek to create a community of knowledgeable, empowered citizens who engage in stewardship and positive environmental action to conserve ecosystems, wilderness and protected areas.

The personal and informative presentations are proven motivators that inspire others to get active. CAC has several currcilum linked programs including HSBC Clean Air Achievers (CAA). CAA provides an interactive opportunity for students in Grades 6 - 9 to explore transportation choices and the resulting impacts on air quality, climate change and health. Teachers receive all program materials, orientation and ongoing support at no cost. Champions visit the school twice - to kick off the program and to celebrate the success of the students. Students learn how much greenhouse gas emissions they have prevented, and how their level of physical activity via active transportation has increased via the CAA online Trip Tracker calculator. CAA is available in Alberta and the local partner co-delivering the program is Clean Calgary. Visit www.cleanairachievers.ca for more information - don't delay as spaces are limited. Remember, this is free to all registered teachers!
