Leave No Trace Canada

Leave No Trace Canada's mission is to promote and inspire responsible outdoor recreation through science-based education and partnerships throughout Canada. We are active in more than 50 countries at some level. Our messaging is supported by scientific research which is documented, ongoing and available to educators everywhere.

Leave No Trace Canada is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting outdoor ethics and the seven Leave No Trace principles with the goal of encouraging Canadians to enjoy the benefits of the outdoors while protecting Canada’s natural and cultural heritage. Leave No Trace helps raise public awareness regarding the importance of respecting Canada’s wilderness and natural areas by providing the public with a science-based framework and offering proven, research-based solutions to protect and enjoy our natural areas.

FOR TEACHERS/OUTDOOR EDUCATORS: Leave No Trace offers a proven framework for building an environmental ethic among young people as they explore the outdoors - anywhere.

QUESTIONS: How do students learn respect for Canada's parks and natural areas, even a school yard? Is this part of the curriculum outcome for your school district? How can we instill a sense of responsibility for an area that may be in use on a regular basis - perhaps multiple times on any given day during the school year?

If you believe that the answers to these questions are relevant and important to your time in the outdoors, then Leave No Trace can be part of the solution to making sure that all of our special outdoor places in Canada are going to be protected and available for generations to come.

COURSES/TRAINING: For our members, we offer an on-line resource section with multi activities for various age groups. Workshops and courses are available across Canada - virtual presentations will soon be hosted on our website. Workshops especially have the flexibility to be part of in-service days for any part of Canada. Ontario high schools, through the Specialist High Skills Major component of the curriculum, have Leave No Trace listed as a course option under the "Environment" sector.
