Many people work beyond the expectations of their professions toward heightening geographic
literacy. This award is to recognize and honour their contributions.
The 2008 Geographic
Literacy Award winner is Eric Kramers.
The Royal Canadian Geographical Society has designated funds for the purpose of making
grants in support of research on geographical topics and in support of projects that further
the mandate of the Society ‘to make Canada better known to Canadians and to the world’.
Proposals must identify the topic to be addressed, the methods to be used and the nature
of the finished product.
Register your school to participate in this exciting annual event for students in Grades 4-10.
Besides being fun, educational and easy to administer, the Geography Challenge is a terrific opportunity for your students and your school
to shine in the spotlight!
“Students love taking part in the Geography Challenge and each year they learn more and more. Thank you for creating this great motivator for geography”
