I was in Saskatchewan for the relevant grades and I remember learning about it somewhat, but not very much.

I wonder if that's to avoid any conflict with parents.

Evolution is the foundation of modern biology and one of the most important scientific discoveries ever.. The idea of natural selection is very powerful and has applications far beyond biology, in physics and computer science and engineering..

To not teach it is like not teaching levers.
