Annual Impact Reports

We’re excited to share our Annual Impact Report for 2024!
Click the image to the right, or the links below to check it out and reflect alongside us how far we’ve come. Thanks to each and every one of you for your support – we couldn’t do it without you! If you’re looking for older reports, please scroll down to the bottom of the page.

We have seen significant support for the work being done in relation to outdoor learning this past year. Internally, I was able to transition to a full time executive director position, and we ended the year with 3 full time staff – double what we had the previous year.

We launched an asynchronous online course that saw more than 1,000 educators enroll in its first 9 months. We saw the biggest engagement ever with Take Me Outside Day. In partnership, we hosted virtual workshops that saw thousands of teachers participating in their “free” evenings. We launched a national mentorship program, linking experienced teachers with new ones to help embed the outdoors as part of their teaching practice. We have more partners and allies in this work than we’ve ever had before. In all of this, we find hope that a difference is being made – that learning outside can be a path to better health and wellbeing, a path to addressing environmental issues and a potential path to reconciliation. This report acts as a year in summary, both ongoing and new, as we look ahead to the upcoming year. If you were able to be a part of any of our initiatives, we thank you for your support and hope this reflection shows just how much collective and ongoing enthusiasm exists for outdoor learning across Canada and beyond. And we hope you find it as inspiring as we do.

– Colin Harris, Executive Director
