Our vision and mission

GreenLearning Canada envisions a generation of young Canadians who are inspired to actively create a sustainable and just world. Our mission is to create innovative teaching resources and other rich educational experiences that empower Canadians to create positive environmental and social change in their own lives, schools, and communities.

We have been in the business of sustainability education since 1985, initially as part of the GAIA Foundation for Earth Education which later became the Pembina Institute for Environmental Research and Education. The Pembina Institute launched GreenLearning in 2002, and GreenLearning Canada became an independent non-profit organization in October, 2010.

Today, GreenLearning Canada is a solar oven challenge, a carbon calculator, and a unique field school. It is eLearning activities and hands-on construction plans. It is curriculum-aligned web-based resources for students, grades 4 and up, and professional development workshops for Canada's innovative teachers.
