The K-12 Cyber Awareness Month (CAM) campaign has been developed to help Ontario school boards promote safer and more secure practices across their school communities when using digital technologies and the internet by promoting best practices in cyber safety, cyber security, and online privacy in K-12.

The campaign is an adaptation of the internationally recognized October Cyber Security Awareness Month which is often mentioned in the media. The Educational Computing Network of Ontario (ECNO), Ontario school boards and the Ministry of Education have developed this K-12 cyber awareness campaign for both English- and French-language school boards in Ontario. 

We’re encouraging participants to be a Cyberhero! Defend against the bad guys – the phishers, scam artists, and all the supervillains who pose a threat to cyber security, safety and privacy.

Weekly Focus and Topics

Each week in October, CAM will focus on a different theme related to cyber awareness. Visit the ECNO website to access the full toolkit.
