What he is looking for is basically general physical geography content, including information about the seasons, atmosphere, water, lithosphere, weather and climate, and biosphere. Doesn’t need to be related to a region in particular. We did find some things that could work for him, but was just wondering if any of you know of materials that have been created more recently or something that you recommend.

For folks who may not know, the British Columbia Federation of Students (BCFS) picked up the #TextBookBrokeBC campaign, adapted some materials, and created a robust suite of new materials (digital & print). One of the things we made was a campaign guide for students' unions to have a place to start/refer back to while running the campaign. It is a great resource for any stage of OER work! I have attached it to this email. There is a handful of other materials and guides (classroom talk scripts, template presentations, suite of print materials, etc.), I would be more than happy to share with other students' unions who are interested in working on this. So please don't hesitate to contact me if you know of a students' union/association that would be interested. It is important for students to raise awareness on our end and working together works!
