==Education program==
The CLS has an education program - "Students on the Beamlines" funded by NSERC Promoscience. This outreach program for science allows high school students to fully experience the work of a scientist, in addition to having the chance to use the CLS beamlines. "The program allows students the development of active research, a very rare phenomena in schools and provides direct access to the use of a particle accelerator, something even rarer!" said teacher Steve Desfosses form College Saint-Bernard, [[Drummondville]], [[Quebec]].<ref name="Express">[http://www.journalexpress.ca/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9/%C3%89ducation/2012-03-03/article-2914331/Le-synchrotron-de-Saskatoon-mis-a-la-portee-de-jeunes-scientifiques-du-College-SaintBernard/1 "Le synchrotron de Saskatoon mis à la portée de jeunes scientifiques du Collège Saint-Bernard"],''L'Express'' 3 March 2012</ref> [[Dene]] students from [[La Loche]], Saskatchewan have taken part in this program twice, looking at effects of [[acid rain]].<ref name="Dene">{{cite web | url= http://www.lightsource.ca/media/spotlight_northern_exposure.php| title=Northern Exposure: Students from Saskatchewan’s North do synchrotron science | date=October 2011| accessdate=2012-23-07}}</ref> Student Jontae DesRoches commented “Elders have noticed that the landscape, where trees used to grow, there’s none growing anymore. They’re pretty concerned because wildlife is disappearing. Like, here there used to be rabbits and now there’s none”. <ref name="ammsa">{{cite web | url= http://www.ammsa.com/publications/saskatchewan-sage/experiment-teaches-students-hands-chemistry-curriculum| title=Experiment teaches students hands-on chemistry curriculum | date=2011| accessdate=2012-23-07}}</ref>
In 2012 the CLS was awarded the [[Canadian Nuclear Society]]'s Education and Communication Award "in recognition of its commitment to community outreach, increasing public awareness of synchrotron science, and developing innovative and outstanding secondary educational programs such as Students on the Beamlines".<ref name=”award”>{{cite web|url=http://www.lightsource.ca/media/media_release_20120611.php|title="
