Becoming Environmentally Responsible Citizens
EcoSchools Canada is a national charity that supports youth leadership, environmental learning, and climate action. Its environmental education and certification program for grades K-12 helps school communities develop both ecological literacy and environmental practices to become environmentally responsible citizens and reduce the environmental footprint of schools.
The Ottawa Catholic School Board is proud to have 46 certified EcoSchools Canada. This certification allows our schools to be recognized and celebrated by our community for their achievement in environmental education and action.
How Our Schools Become Certified
How Our Schools Become Certified
EcoSchools is an annual certification program that supports and recognizes environmental action in schools. Certification runs between September until June of each year.
Throughout the school year, schools complete actions in their online application and earn points towards their certification. There are four levels of certification:
- Bronze: 50-65 points.
- Silver: 66-74 points.
- Gold: 75-100 points.
- Platinum: 101+ points.
When a school becomes a certified EcoSchool, they receive a digital certification seal that reflects their certification level. This seal can be displayed on a school’s website and social media accounts, newsletters, email signatures, and more. Visit EcoSchools.ca for more details.
