History of Relay Education

Relay Education was created by the Toronto Renewable Energy Cooperative (TREC) to support, through education and capacity building, its mandate for the transition to a democratic renewable energy future. Established in 1998, TREC was formed to develop community-owned renewable energy projects and achieved a major milestone in 2002 by building the first urban-based, co-operatively owned wind turbine in North America. In the process, TREC realized the need for greater awareness and education around renewable energy and green technologies, especially for youth. Out of this, TREC’s Education programs were founded, which has grown from providing general renewable energy information to developing and delivering unique learning activities linked to curricula across Canada.

A growing interest in the educational programs led to the incorporation and launch of TREC Education in 2010, a registered charity, which now delivers these education programs. In 2018, TREC Education completed a rebranding process and became Relay Education. Relay Education’s programs have engaged more than 100,000 students over the past 10 years. There have been significant and regular investments over the past decade to ensure our education, training and outreach programs are the best learning experiences possible, linked to the curricula of schools districts throughout Canada and are an engaging and memorable experience for all.

Educating and inspiring for a 100% renewable energy future: Relay Education is a national charity that delivers engaging renewable energy education programs. We seek to empower all Canadians, especially youth and Indigenous youth, to make informed choices about our shared natural resources.
