Environmental Education Program Availability In B.C.

You are invited to participate in a survey we are conducting for a graduate course in Environment and Business (ENBUS690) at the University of Waterloo. The purpose of this project is to create an inventory of Environmental Education programs available across BC in order to identify gaps and inequities in the availability of programs geographically, linguistically, financially as well as by age, ability and subject-area. By identifying gaps, governments, educators, non-profit organizations and other community groups can work to address them.

Your identity will be kept confidential, though the information shared regarding your program will appear in the survey results. You can withdraw (by closing your browser) or submit an update to this information at any time. We estimate that it takes between 10 to 15 minutes to complete. 

There are no known or anticipated risks to participation in this study. The data, with no personal identifiers, collected from this study will be maintained on a password-protected computer. As well, the data will be electronically archived after completion of the study and maintained for one year and then erased.

This study has been reviewed and received ethics clearance through a University of Waterloo Research Ethics Committee (ORE# 30720). However, the final decision about participation is yours. If you have any comments or concerns resulting from your participation in this study, please contact the Chief Ethics Officer, Office of Research Ethics, at 1-519-888-4567, ext. 36005 or ore-ceo@uwaterloo.ca.
