Canadore College's Academic Centre of Excellence collaborated with Colleges and Institutes Canada to develop the course "Introduction to Environmental Literacy and Citizenship."

It also explores climate mitigation, the circular economy, renewable energy, and strategies for resilience and adaptation to climate change.
Additionally, the course "Sustainable Innovation: Integrating Circular Economy and Biomimicry into Climate Action," developed in collaboration with Beyond21 Academy, includes practical activities such as planting a Miyawaki Forest, equipping participants with tools to implement sustainable changes in their communities and professions.
The 14-week "Introduction to Sustainable Development" addresses the broad concepts of sustainable development, focusing on environmental, economic, and social sustainability, and the effects of human resource needs on natural ecosystems. This course offers insights into how social and economic factors influence local and global sustainability and is available in both hybrid and fully online formats.
