EXECUTIVE

The CCGE is governed by a national Executive comprised of geographic educators from elementary, secondary, college or university levels.

The Executive includes six Regional Representatives who are classroom teachers elected from the CCGE membership in their region and representatives of the Canadian Association of Geographers and Faculties of Education. The six regions on the CCGE Executive are: Atlantic, Québec, Ontario, Manitoba/Saskatchewan/Nunavut, Alberta/Northwest Territories and B.C./Yukon.

“Canadian Geographic magazine is an excellent resource for teachers and students. It provides posters in both official languages, such as the St. Lawrence Seaway map, as well as short geography related news items suitable for current events. In addition, the June issue each year is devoted to environmental issues such as wind energy.”
