Canadian Geographic Education
Canadian Geographic Education — formerly the Canadian Council for Geographic Education (CCGE) — is a joint initiative of The Royal Canadian Geographical Society and the National Geographic Society of Washington, D.C. established in 1993.
The programs of the CGE aim to strengthen geographic education in the classroom. In addition to increasing the emphasis on geography within the school system, the CGE endeavours to increase the public awareness of the importance of geographical literacy.
