SD8 is committed to helping students and staff understand climate change and take meaningful action. Our work supports hands-on learning, builds awareness, and encourages everyone across schools and worksites to make sustainable choices.
On this page you'll find links to resources to help educators, students and all staff learn and act to respond to and address climate change and support a sustainable school district.
SD8 aligns its efforts with provincial climate strategies through the Ministry of Education and Child Care and the Climate Action Secretariat, ensuring schools have the tools and support needed to prepare for a changing climate.
Policy 173: Climate Action and Sustainability shapes our direction. In spring 2026, we released our second Climate Action & Sustainability Annual Report, shared highlights from the 2025-2026 school year and set priorities through to 2030.
SD8 engaged with staff, students, education partners and communities throughout 2024-2025 to inform policies, plans and actions going forward.
