The Hot Planet, Cool Athletes program brings high profile athletes (Olympians, Professional Action Sports Athletes, etc.) into high schools for presentations (preferably a school-wide assembly) tied to provincial climate change curriculum.

The goal of the presentation is to leave students with a clear challenge around climate action. Visit the website to learn more and book a presentation for your school.
