NOTE: The only training activities controlled and organized by the Canadian Math Kangaroo Contest are the ones advertised through our website, our Facebook page, or our mailing list.

Until now these training activities have included those conducted at math clubs/circles as well as on-campus and online training sessions.

Although we encourage educators from public or private schools or tutoring centres to use our publicly available materials in their learning activities, there are NO schools or educational institution in Canada (except for the ones hosting the regional centres) that are authorized by us to provide training on our behalf.

The Canadian Math Kangaroo contest has no control over the quality and the rigour of the activities of such institutions.
