How might the CFC ever get chess taught in schools as a core subject?

[Kevin Pacey]

From the CFC Long-term Planning Committee 2012 Report, under Opportunities [for the CFC]:

Pursue chess in the schools both as a core subject and also as an extra-curricular activity. The latter may be more important in the long run than the former.

I've been wondering for a while if the former (namely, having chess taught as a core subject in schools someday, nationwide) is going to be too difficult to coordinate for the CFC, given that education is a provincial jurisdiction - thus any efforts to achieve this (teaching chess as a core subject) could need to be divided 10 ways (at least), apparently. If there's going to be any new Long-term/strategic plan for the CFC that includes this (teaching chess as a core subject) as a goal, perhaps a detailed planning stage alone could prove quite complex. That's assuming Magnus Carlsen or some other Western world chess champion doesn't catapult organized chess, in terms of popularity, the way Fischer did.
