The vision for environmental education in Ontario is enunciated in Shaping Our Schools, Shaping Our Future: 'Ontario’s education system will prepare students with the knowledge, skills, perspectives, and practices they need to be environmentally responsible citizens. Students will understand our fundamental connections to each other and to the world around us through our relationship to food, water, energy, air, and land, and our interaction with all living things. The education system will provide opportunities within the classroom and the community for students to engage in actions that deepen this understanding. Shaping Our Schools, Shaping Our Future."
