Educator Awards
In the past, Natural Curiosity and the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study have honoured in-service elementary school teachers for their excellence in environmental inquiry in Ontario
At Natural Curiosity, we are proud to recognize outstanding educators who are making a meaningful impact through environmental inquiry and Indigenous perspectives in education. Each year, we offer two distinguished awards that honour the passion, innovation, and leadership of those who inspire the next generation of environmental stewards.
Indigenous Language Courses
Natural Curiosity – in partnership with the Outdoor Learning School and Store – has hosted four language courses, reaching over 3,000 learners.
Each eight-week course, led by experienced, community-endorsed instructors, has helped to break down barriers to and address the growing demand for language learning. For both Indigenous and non-Indigenous participants, these courses have served as a powerful step toward reconciliation. They have provided a space for learners to explore and appreciate the depth of local cultures, and nurture cross-cultural understanding.
