ALBERTA ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS 101
About the Project
Alberta Environmental Laws 101 is a project created in collaboration between the Environmental Law Centre (ELC) and the Alberta Council for Environmental Education (ACEE).
The content of this website is intended to be a resource for secondary school teachers and students in Alberta interested in incorporating more environmental law and environmental issues into their studies.
How to
Use the Resources
The website is a self-guided educational resource for secondary school students and teachers, organized into nine topic areas and five flexible lesson plans. It can be used for classroom instruction, independent study, or as a supplementary resource to support learning.
This resource supports and enriches the CTF/CTS, science, biology, and social studies curricula by providing essential background knowledge and learning resources related to environmental law in Alberta. Clear curriculum connections are identified within each lesson to help integrate the material across subject areas.
The website is also an excellent resource for Albertans who want to deepen their understanding of environmental issues and environmental law.
