History

Until 1990 OSEE was known as the Environmental Science Teachers' Association of Ontario ESTAO. At that time the name was changed and its mandate was broadened to serve the interests of all educators interested in environmental education. OSEE is an Ontario organization that supports the work of the North American Association for Environmental Education NAAEE and the Canadian Network for Environmental Education and Communication EECOM.
