Canadian Council for Geographic Education
- Canadian Council for Geographic Education
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 CCGE aim to strengthen geographic education in the classroom. In addition to increasing the emphasis on geography within the school system, the CCGE endeavours to increase the public awareness of the importance of geographical literacy.
The Great Canadian Geography Challenge (GCGC) is a national student competition organized nationally by the CCGE for students from Grades 4 to 10. There are two levels of competition. Level 1 for Grades 4 to 6 is at the school level only. Level 2 for Grades 7 to 10 offers students the opportunity to compete at the provincial and national levels.
