The planet is celebrating Earth Day and so is the Power Smart for Schools community.
Information
About Earth Day
Earth Day takes place every April 22 and this year's theme, "Invest in Our Planet" is a continuation of 2022, to get everyone - businesses, governments, schools, communities - everyone, to take action on climate change.
Through some fun engaging activities, we'll explore how we can conserve energy and act sustainably to help our home, this planet.
Overview and outcomes
To celebrate the amazing things we can accomplish when we work together, we are developing Earth Day resources to encourage students to think about ways to care for the environment and how our actions can make a big difference.
Our Earth Day activities provide a link to the core competencies of the curriculum. The activities engage students in sharing ideas and solutions, having fun learning and sharing with others through creative thinking and making.
There are also French materials available, perfect for those French Immersion or Francophone schools.
