Edmonton Public's Elmwood Elementary lives the culture of an EcoSchool, centring learning IN, ABOUT, FOR, and FROM the environment, through Western and through Indigenous ways of knowing. Once Elmwood staff joined the EcoSchools Canada platform, all they had to do to become Platinum-certified was to track the work they were already doing with their students - the Elmwood Explorers!
