Welcome to the 2026 Outdoor Learning Leadership Conference

Practicing Outdoor Education and Addressing Climate Change Go Together

Saturday October 31, 2026 9:45am - 11:00am MDT

How do we get to a desperately needed climate action phase?
This session provides an overview of three presentations Grant makes to middle and high school audiences: the science of an existential crisis; the impressive variety of solutions already available; why we remain paralyzed by inaction. This session will also include initiatives Grant has taken within the Hamilton Wentworth District School Board. Finally, it will address the need for system wide change and for our students to be repeatedly immersed in nature through publicly funded outdoor education.
