Environmental Stewardship Certificate

Each year Parks Canada staff visit every Grade 4 class in the ISR. We bring posters and pictures, scavenger hunts, videos, and games, and by the time we leave each student is a proud graduate of the Environmental Stewardship Certificate Program!

This program was created for grade 4 students to help them understand their northern environment and learn how they can act to respect and protect it. Students learn about the plants, animals and ecosystems around their own communities, and about the connections between the living and non-living parts of the environment.

So far this school year we have brought the program to classes in Sachs Harbour, Inuvik, Ulukhaktok, Fort McPherson and Tsiigehtchic. Over the next few months we will bring it to the schools in Aklavik, Tuktoyaktuk, Paulatuk, and Deline.
