Return to Program Information           What's New?

If your school registered in the program electronically before October 12, please read this!

Technical problems with the electronic mail functions on our server resulted in the loss of some messages in September and early October.  If you have submitted a registration form but have not yet been contacted by your Sky Watchers coordinator, please either resubmit the form or call us at the number shown on the brochure.  We apologize for the inconvenience, and we hope you'll give us another chance.

Meanwhile, another school year is underway, and Sky Watcher schools across the country are identifying clouds, recording temperatures, and learning why a red sky at night is usually good news.  Wouldn't you like to join them?

When you participate in the Sky Watchers program, we'll send you our printable Student Activity Booklet.  It's filled with all kinds of weather related activities that your students can do--more work, more fun.

Print as many as you need!

And now, Curriculum Services Canada recommends Sky Watchers as a resource for teaching weather.

New chapter on Severe Weather!

More severe weather explanations, safety tips, severe weather events!  Learn about hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and more.

Discover what it takes for weather alerts to be issued by Environment Canada, and how to access them.

You can download the new Chapter 4 to update your Sky Watchers Guide, or use it on its own to enhance safety in your community.

And it's now easier than ever to win free registration!

Simply enter ten observations at any time throughout the school year, and next year's registration is on us!

And your students can continue to enter weather observations even after the weather curriculum is covered: win prizes in Club Sky by participating throughout the school year.  This year again, the top Canadian school will win an automatic weather station.

Whether you're a returning Sky Watchers school or whether you're new to the program, there's still time!  Why not take a few minutes to look over this year's options on the Program Description page and register today!
