HOW WE CARE for God's Creation

The Ottawa Catholic School Board is actively demonstrating how We Care for God's Creation - including the environment, the welfare of others, and personal wellness.

Keeping with the Gospel value of Stewardship of Creation, our Board's current
spiritual theme includes the elements of sacredness of creation, the value of human life, wellness, care for the environment, and global awareness.

Part of this whole-system responsibility for environmental education includes modelling environmentally sound practices in our facilities and operations. Check out the links below to see what our greater school community is doing to show We Care.
