Environment Canada’s Prairie and Northern Region has developed a position whose task, among many others, will be to focus on strengthening the link between the Department and the education community. The Warning Preparedness Meteorologist will work to establish links with the science teachers’ associations to foster a renewed sharing of information and expertise. Through involvement with teacher development days, participation in curricula development and regional science days, Environment Canada aims to assist teachers in bringing the new atmospheric and environmental sciences to the classroom. The Warning Preparedness Meteorologists will participate with the education community through one on one presentations to groups of teachers to take advantage of the multiplier effect, development of in-class videos and computer materials, and the use of existing and development of new educational websites on the internet. This presentation will demonstrate current activities, future projects and develop new ideas through discussion with the attendees
