SUMMARY:Polluting Education
DESCRIPTION: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.

Anne serves on the Board of Environmental Education Ontario\, is co-chair of Toronto Climate Action Network\, and is an active member of the parent advocacy organization For Our Kids Toronto.
