The Sustainable Development Plan has as its primary objective the development and imple- mentation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) based programs initiated by teachers as well as those initiated by students. The plan also includes practices and other envi- ronmental measures for the operation of the Division that would serve to model what is taught in classrooms. ESD programs not only benefit the students, but also support the environmental efforts already undertaken by the Division. By focusing on student learning, there will be an increased appreciation of community, provincial and glob- al issues related to the environment.
