GREEN Schools Canada

This program is easy and exciting for kids to run! And it does not involve new curriculum. Your school is probably already very active in taking environmental action. The GREEN Schools program provides recognition and focus to that effort. Build a strong school image in the community. Materials such as certificates, the trophy and the banner can be presented in special ceremonies involving local dignitaries and the media.

This program encourages students to be environmentally responsible and to take personal action at school and with their families. Classes undertake projects to communicate about or to enhance the environment. Classes then log their project results and report them to SEEDS. By keeping records of their achievements, schools gradually work towards 100 projects to become recognized as an environmental Green School. Some schools go on to achieve Jade status (250), Emerald status (500) and ultimately Earth School with 1,000 completed projects. There are 261 Earth Schools in Canada.

Our statistics show that over 563,650 projects have been completed under this program at more than 8,000 Canadian elementary schools.

SEEDS is pleased to announce that Haldane School in Chase, BC is the first Earth 5 school in Canada, having logged 5,000 environmental projects.  Haldane School began the SEEDS' Green Schools program in 1992.  This photo shows some Haldane students and teachers proudly displaying their new Earth 5 trophy which features a globe on a glass base.
