Ontario Wilderness Leadership Symposium (OWLS) Goes Virtual!
The Ontario Wilderness Leadership Symposium (aka OWLS) is an annual COEO event organized to support the development of emerging wilderness trip leaders in Ontario. This year, OWLS has transitioned to a virtual format and will be focused on the themes of anti-racism, anti-colonialism and anti-oppression in wilderness leadership.
OWLS 2021 has received generous grant support from Cabela’s Canada Outdoor Fund.
The event is presented in partnership with CANOPA and Project CANOE.
OWLS 2021 is being planned for a Friday night and Saturday on April 30th-May 1st. This event will take place online, using Zoom. Participants will be invited to attend a variety of informative workshops, reflective discussion sessions, and networking activities with an incredible group of people.

THIS MONTH:
April 15th at 7:00pm – OPHEA Guidelines for Outdoor Education – Deborah Diebel and Stéphane Giroux
Stéphane and Deborah will cover a variety of topics related to aspects of OPHEA’s role in outdoor education. A brief overview of the history of OPHEA’s role in setting safety standards for sport in Ontario will provide the context for how current day decisions are made, who is involved in these decisions, and how they are applied. Some specific standards will be covered in regards to commonly asked questions, and Stéphane and Deb will explain how to have questions about the standards answered, and how to recommend changes directly to OPHEA. There will be time for questions at the end of the session.
Deb has been a member of COEO for 20 years, and has served on the COEO Board of Directors for a good number of those. Deb began her career in outdoor education through U of Waterloo co-op terms at Camp Tawingo, Pinery Provincial Park, the Canadian Wildlife Service, and the Cabot Head Lightstation on the Bruce Peninsula. She went on to work at the Boyne River Outdoor Education Centre, Camp Oconto, Presqu’ile Provincial Park, and as a tree planter before settling into the Faculty of Education at Nipissing University. She landed her dream job on the Bruce Peninsula at the Bluewater Outdoor Education Centre in 2001, and became the Manager in 2004. She has guided hiking, kayaking, winter camping, and canoe trips for Girl Guides of Canada, Camp Wabinaki, and secondary school trips for Bluewater DSB. In her free time, Deb has been lucky to paddle and backpack in several Ontario parks, the Yukon River, the Tatshenshini, and several destinations around Georgian Bay, including a circumnavigation of the Bruce Peninsula and routes on the Bruce Trail. Deb joined the OPHEA Safety Guidelines Committee (now OPASSE) in 2014, and enjoys balancing needs of the teaching and student community with the safety demands of the day. It is a work in progress, and she is excited to speak with COEO members abut this ongoing process this evening! Deb lives in Wiarton with her dog, cat, and hedgehog (that one is a long story!)!
Stéphane has been working at Ophea for 12 years and has been working on the Ontario Physical Activity Safety Standards (OPASSE) for about 10 of those years. He originally worked on the French side of the OPASSE but as Ophea’s staff changed over the years, he started getting more and more involved with OPASSE as a whole. Stéphane has been participating in the yearly Safety and Injury Prevention Advisory Committee (SIPAC) meetings for about 6 or 7 years, and has been working closely with the OPASSE consultants on the Ask Ophea questions, and implementing the safety standards updates/edits to the OPASSE website every summer. In addition to this, Stéphane was able to create the SIPAC Outdoor Education subcommittee in collaboration with a colleague. This work entails leading the committee, facilitating the meetings, and providing expertise on content delivery and content management. Stéphane is an outdoor activity, nature, and photography enthusiast. He loves downhill skiing, hiking, canoeing, and camping. He usually goes on multiple multi-day backcountry hiking and canoeing camping trips every year and can’t get enough.

TDSB Launches New Outdoor Learning Website
We are excited to launch a new outdoor learning website for staff and families in the TDSB. This portal brings together information, ideas and resources to help support and encourage learning in the outdoors. While many educators regularly integrated the outdoors into their daily learning, the pandemic has encouraged all staff to look beyond the walls of their classroom and find innovative and creative ways to learn outside.
This portal provides valuable and current information for educators, including research, resources and best practices, to help them get started or explore new ideas. Staff are also encouraged to share their outdoor learning in action with #TDSBoutdoors on social media to inspire other educators interested in trying new learning opportunities outside.
The Family Resources area of the site provides tips for preparing for the weather, resources for why and how to get started as well as a comprehensive list of activities for families to enjoy together in the city. The website will continue to be updated with new information and resources and will continue to serve as a hub of ideas and innovation that educators use not only in the coming months, but for years ahead. Check out the website HERE.
The City Nature Challenge starts April 30th!

Thank you Bill for all the years of leadership you provided at the Norval Outdoor School. The engaging workshops run by Norval staff each year at COEO conferences have always been a highlight! The Ontario Wilderness Leadership Symposium (OWLS) has been generously hosted by Norval several times, providing a perfect site for this annual event for emerging outdoor professionals.

CANOPA – Canadian Outdoor Professionals Association
Hello from CANOPA! The Canadian Outdoor Professionals’ Association is a new, community-driven, national association for outdoor professionals. As a grassroots volunteer organization, we are looking to better understand the barriers outdoor professionals face across Canada. Our goal is to reduce these barriers, and in so doing, make the industry more equitable, diverse, and sustainable for everyone.
As a first step, we have a survey on the go and are looking to share it widely. Please share it within your community. You can find it HERE, on our Facebook page or website. We are collecting data in four categories: wages & costs incurred by outdoor professionals; education gaps within the field, and suggestions for what we can collectively do to improve the industry. If you think we have missed anything, please let us know. Feel free to reach out to canadian.outdoor.
Get Kids Paddling
Want to help get more kids paddling? Click HERE to complete a short survey and help GKP complete the goal of finding out where paddling programs are available across Canada. That’s where you come in! The eventual goal of this project, initiated by Get Kids Paddling, is to connect people, places and stories from different parts of Canada, in order to highlight the value of these types of experiences and promote the future of paddling in Ontario.
Together with Erica Bota from ThinkLink Graphics, Get Kids Paddling has produced a stunning visual to capture a 2 hour discussion where 7 people spoke openly about their paddling experiences, primarily on canoe trips. Opening the link will show you the illustration displaying how Erica captured the conversation. GKP-Why-Paddle-Visual.pdf
An open letter to Ontario Teachers Pension Plan (OTPP)
Will you sign an open letter to the OTPP, requesting that they stop investing our retirement savings in climate disaster? Here is the link to the open letter: https://www.
As you will read, the thrust of the letter is that divestment is needed not just to limit climate change, but also to avoid devaluing its portfolio. Even mainstream fund managers are increasingly recognizing that oil and gas investments are financially risky. Some already acknowledge that much of the world’s fossil fuel infrastructure will become stranded assets as their value drops. So there is now a strong fiscal argument, in addition to a social responsibility argument, for pension funds like the OTPP to unload their holdings in oil and gas companies.
For any teacher-friends who are wanting more information on the topic of making pension funds climate-friendly, two webinars on this topic were recently recorded. You can find them HERE
Finally, the website shiftotpp.ca has more information on the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan’s approach to climate change. The group recently released a video of young people from across Ontario calling for the OTPP to divest from climate failure, and thereby help to ensure a sustainable planet for theirs and future generations. Watch the video HERE.
Call for resources from Outdoor Council of Canada (OCC)
As teaching outside is gaining in popularity across the country, we want to be there to share best practices and support teachers in going outdoors. Want to give us a hand? We are building a database of professional development workshops enabling teachers to bring students outside. If you know of any, please contact us. If you have relevant news or scientific articles, don’t hesitate sending them our way also.
Contact: franz.plangger@outdoorcouncil.ca
Science Education and Local Communities
We would like to invite you to participate in a research project exploring Ontario educators’ perspectives and experiences integrating local school-community resources with your science teaching or school planning.
The online survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, depending on your responses. Your survey participation does not require prior experience collaborating with local school communities.
Your contribution is greatly valued because it will help us better understand how to improve and support science teaching and learning using the local school community.
All your survey responses will remain confidential and anonymous. At the end of the survey you will have the option to enter a draw for a Chapters Indigo gift card. Click on the link below to enter the survey:
