The Royal Canadian Geographical Society

The programs of the CCGE aim to strengthen geographic education in the classroom. In addition to increasing the emphasis on geography within the school system, the CCGE endeavours to increase the public awareness of the importance of geographical literacy.

The six regions on the CCGE Executive are: Atlantic, Québec, Ontario, Manitoba/Saskatchewan/Nunavut, Alberta/Northwest Territories and B.C./Yukon.
