4 Seasons of Reconciliation
I am happy to share some info regarding the 4 Seasons online course. We will have 2 sign up intakes this year (fall and winter) for staff and school community members (School Councils, parents and families). This will allow time for people to complete the course before we lose access to it at the end of June.
- Fall Intake: Deadline for sign up is Friday, October 11.
- Winter Intake: Deadline for sign up will be Friday, January 24th.
4 Seasons of Reconciliation is a unique 3-hour online course that promotes a renewed relationship between Indigenous peoples and Canadians through transformative learning about truth and reconciliation.
This multimedia course provides a basic, foundational knowledge on truth and reconciliation that nearly all Canadians missed during their education journey, and is intended for Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners. The course and its bonus video library shine a bright light on the contributions of Indigenous peoples, debunk myths, stereotypes and racism while meeting the Calls to Action in the workplace and our lives from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC). Watch this video to learn more.
