One of the best tools to do this is education: teaching about basic ecology and the conservation of Alberta’s wildlife and ecosystems increases environmental literacy and builds an ethic of environmental responsibility. 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.

What makes CAC unique is our Champions - national, Olympic and Paralympic athletes who deliver our message. These top athletes are passionate about physical activity and the health of our environment. Their involvement in CAC and personal stories inspire others to get active. Our curriculum-based multidisciplinary program, Clean Air Achievers, provides a fun and 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. CAA will be launched in Alberta in January 2008. Visit www.cleanairachievers.ca for more information and to register your class!
