RCE Peterborough-Kawartha-Haliburton is a diverse collaborative that includes post-secondary institutions, governments and government agencies, local First Nation communities, educators, elders, private sector partners, and non-profit organisations.

Designated as an RCE in 2016, our mission is to advance partnerships and projects that promote sustainability education at every age and stage of life in the Peterborough, Kawarthas, and Haliburton areas.

Our Approach Supports:

• Ways of Knowing that value Indigenous Knowledge as foundational to sustainability education; that recognise the importance of lived and community-based experience; and, that are guided by reciprocity and caring.
• Ways of Teaching and Learning that bring multiple partners together to support transdisiplinary, lifelong learning in sustainability; that are accessible to all and have benefits for all; and, that foster community awareness including knowledge of and caring for natural systems interrelated with the economy and socio-cultural factors.
• Ways of Doing that support sustainability skills for daily living and secure employment; and, that foster a sense of belonging for all of our citizens.
