Imagine the wonder of a field trip to the Rocky Mountains or Parliament Hill brought to life in every high school classroom and enhanced by cross-disciplinary master classes delivered by experts and innovators. Now imagine the expensive, out-dated textbook being replaced with an immersive virtual experience that is relatable and responsive to the world where students live, with information being updated in real-time. All of this? It’s brought together with balanced storytelling that blends 60 Minutes fundamentals with the pacing of TikTok and the visuals of National Geographic to create the kind of multi-media content needed to spark a passion for learning.

Nature Labs is not an advocacy platform. As a citizen-funded project, we have avoided strings-attached funding that might influence bias, real or perceived. We don’t seek to create a new generation of activists. We won’t tell students what to think and don’t take positions on the issues we face – economically, socially or environmentally. We do work, however, to reflect and challenge every perspective in Canada, helping students understand the true complexity of our society. We believe that by enhancing critical thinking skills we can help create a more thoughtful citizenry and more creative workforce – one that strives to balance the needs of people and nature in new and innovative ways.
