Summary
This project was in collaboration with the Vancouver Board of Parks & Recreation which was looking for input & assistance in promoting Environmental Education programming through the city’s community centres. The City of Vancouver’s Environmental Education & Stewardship Action Plan & Biodiversity Strategy include implementation of Environmental Education (EE) as a primary goal.
We conducted interviews of five community centre. We found that these community centers currently offer only a handful of programs relating to Environmental Education or Outdoor Learning. Almost all of the programmers identified a lack of resources, staff time, & expertise as the key barriers to implementing new EE programs.
