CD-ROM FROM THE DEEP

Ottawa - Canadian school children from coast to coast will be able to explore the wonders of Canada's oceans thanks to the recent release of One Earth, One Ocean, One Life -- an exciting CD-ROM produced by the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) and Intoinfo Inc., an Ottawa-based multi-media company. This latest initiative is part of CWF's Learning About Oceans educational program and celebrates World Oceans Day, June 8th.

One Earth, One Ocean, One Life was designed to help Canada's youth understand how their lives are inexorably linked with oceans and how their actions affect ocean health. The multi-media package supplements a wide range of classroom subjects, including art, biology, environmental science, geography, health, history, language arts, and math. The CD is brimming with resources to help both teachers and students undertake classroom activities, science projects, and ocean-action initiatives.

"We're really pleased with this new program," says CWF Executive Vice-president, Colin Maxwell. "It brings a whole new way of learning and exploring oceans and adds another exciting dimension to the federation's family of conservation education programs."

One Earth, One Ocean, One Life was developed with the support of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Parks Canada as a legacy of the International Year of the Ocean (1998).

The sounds, the images, the stories, and the games are sure to captivate inquisitive, young minds everywhere. And with the holiday season just around the corner, One Earth, One Ocean, One Life would make a perfect gift for the youngsters on your list.
