Calling all school board trustees! Join us for a discussion on CAPE’s report Polluting Education: The Influence of Fossil Fuels on Children’s Education in Canada. The report reveals how oil and gas companies have funded and supplied misleading climate education to children across Canada. We’ll cover the scope of the issue, what steps school board trustees can take to address it, how other jurisdictions have banned fossil fuel sponsorships of school activities, and wrap up with a peer-supported discussion on barriers and solutions.
