Knowledge is power
When higher awareness of Canada's complex energy system is passed on to students, everyone wins. That's because knowledge is power and today's students will be tomorrow's leaders.
With the Centre for Energy's learning resources and publications, Canadian educators are plugged into the most current energy information such as:

Inside Education
The key to achieving a healthy, environmentally sustainable community is through education. Canadian teachers and students need proper, relevant, bias-balanced information about natural resources and environmental issues. Inside Education is a private, non-profit education organization established in 1985 to promote, co-ordinate and support balanced natural resources and environment education in Alberta. www.insideeducation.ca
CNA
Nuclear energy in Canada generates about 15 per cent of Canada's electricity and almost half of Ontario's without polluting the air. The Canadian Nuclear Association is a non-profit organization established in 1960 to represent the nuclear industry in Canada and promote the development and growth of nuclear technologies for peaceful purposes. Its mission is to demonstrate Canada's nuclear expertise, to promote domestic and international acceptance of Canadian nuclear technologies and to create a positive public, political and regulatory environment for advancing the nuclear industry in Canada and in global markets. www.cna.ca
