Background on Ontario EcoSchools and the certification program

Ontario EcoSchools is an environmental education and certification
program for grades K-12 that helps school communities develop both
ecological literacy and environmental practices to become
environmentally responsible citizens and reduce the ecological
footprint of schools.

The certification component of the program gives schools a means to
assess and celebrate their achievement in environmental initiatives.
To become certified, a school must demonstrate achievement in 6 key
areas: teamwork and leadership, energy conservation, waste
minimization, school ground greening, curriculum and environmental
stewardship. Both elementary and secondary schools may become
