Did you know that climate change is already having an impact on wildlife in Alberta? Join us to learn more about how some of our wildlife species respond to climate change, why climate change is so challenging for wild animals to adapt to, and what we humans can do to help.

What's your vision of Calgary's future? How do we get there? The Alberta Tomorrow Simulation tool allows you to create the future you want for Calgary while learning about Alberta's environment, economy, natural resources, and Indigenous peoples. How has Calgary changed in the past, and how might it change in the future? The future is up to you; design the future you want to see!

Join an Air Quality Scientist and learn about how air quality affects us and how our actions affect air quality. Why do we care about the air, how do we measure air pollution, and how can students protect the air quality for their future? How can we change our habits to protect our air? The in-person presentations include a smoke sensor demonstration and will be discussing all things air quality!

Do you ever wonder why the world just feels better when you are outside? Spending time in nature, or Vitamin N, makes us breathe, think, and feel better; but don’t take our word for it. Join CPAWS Southern Alberta for a dose of nature play and mindfulness and let Mother Nature convince you!

With hope, everything is possible, especially climate solutions. Join CPAWS Southern Alberta and gain real world eco-insight into local climate impacts, nature-based climate solutions, and, most importantly, how seemingly small actions make the biggest climate breakthroughs possible. Hope lives here!

Did you know that 1/3 of the food that the world produces is wasted? Come join EcoCooks educators to learn why this is such a problem for our planet and more importantly, how you can help. Whether it’s at home, school, or out in the community, there are many ways we can reduce, reuse and recycle our food waste and live more sustainably!

In August 2018, Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg shocked the world by going on strike from school, demanding action to combat the climate emergency. But the story is bigger than Greta, with millions of students and allies continuing to mobilize for climate action. This presentation by Fridays for Future Calgary explores the many stories of youth climate activists, along with how youth, including Calgary students, can enact change in their community. This session will involve a short lecture-style presentation, then a brainstorming session and sharing circle for students to share their own advocacy ideas and discuss environmental issues in their community.

Something fishy going on? In this live, interactive session, students will be introduced to the biology of a native trout species, the Westslope Cutthroat. Spooling out the line, the session will cover threats to its survival and a summary of federal and provincial recovery efforts. As a local case study, fish habitat restoration in the Ghost Watershed will be showcased. Teachers will be provided with an accompanying slide deck and student activity package.

What in blazes? In this live, interactive session, students will look at what fire is (the fire triangle) and how wildfire could potentially impact the source water for the city of Calgary. By investigating the specific case of the 2020 Devil's Head wildfire in the Ghost River Watershed, this session will ignite interest in an important land-water connection.

Climate change is a very popular term lately, but how can it affect your school and community? In this workshop, we will share practical techniques in climate mitigation and adaptation, how we can create plans to minimize environmental impacts, and how we can be prepared for unexpected events.

Did you know that by sorting your waste properly you can reduce your impact on greenhouse gas emissions? In this workshop, we will explore how to improve waste management, focusing on waste reduction and diversion and improving waste diversion in landfills. We will review concepts in waste and share tools to prepare your school to be an environment champion.

Taking care of Alberta’s landscape is no small task, so climb aboard the Steward Ship and take a virtual tour of Alberta’s natural regions! Using mini case studies, we will introduce some of the challenges each region faces as our climate changes and highlight some innovative ways Albertans are answering the call for adaptation and mitigation. We will also touch on scientific inquiry, understanding natural processes of our ecosystems, and looking at the geological history that shaped our landscape and created a rich diversity of natural resources.

This workshop is a choose your own adventure session where students will work together to sustainably feed a world population of 10 billion by the year 2050. Journey 2050 is a curriculum-based school program that takes students on a virtual simulation, where they will make choices to try and balance environmental, social, and economic factors in their communities while growing enough food to feed the world

Get up close and personal with these hardworking squiggly wriggly critters. Students will learn the difference between dirt and soil and its importance to all humans, diving into how worms are used for composting, and all the things the worms need from us to provide them with a comfortable home.

What?! Is there a bug in there? There may be, and so much more. Learn about the interactions of all the critters in the living soil that we can see with our eyes, and the ones we cannot. Students will learn about the impact these critters have on the soil, plants, and even us!

Did you know we have over 200 species of native bees in Calgary? This workshop will explore who our local pollinators are, why we have so many pollinator species in Calgary, what ecosystems are important for their survival, and the bigger picture of how you can help protect the spaces used by pollinators. Students will be encouraged to take action to add to the pollinator habitat in our city.
