Centre for Energy

One of the mandates of the Centre for Energy is to provide first-class materials to assist teachers in achieving their learning objectives in environmental studies, geography, English language arts, information and communication technology, math, physics, science, social studies.

We know that Canadian teachers require easy access to energy-related information and current events, and they are looking for a reliable resource for research purposes. The Centre for Energy provides that central source of Canadian energy information, and builds upon the education role formerly assumed by the Petroleum Communication Foundation (PCF).
