The Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre would like to thank the Humber community for their support during the recent I Love First Peoples shoebox campaign in support of the children of Kashechewan First Nation. We are happy to announce that thanks to your support, we donated 65 shoeboxes that were each filled with educational items, warm supplies, personal notes, and $5 to support transportation on the ice road. We also donated additional funds to support another 17 boxes plus boxes of craft supplies and school supplies.

We are grateful for such a warm response to the campaign and look forward to another successful event next year!

Inclusive Design Certificate

Mondays starting Feb. 26, 2018 from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Inclusive Design encompasses the key elements of multiple teaching and learning approaches to offer a robust and accessible learning experience for all students. The principles of inclusive curriculum design focus on a proactive rather than reactive approach to course design and are founded in equity, collaboration, flexibility and accountability. This Certificate addresses the idea that students are not meant to fit into a traditional “one size fits all” model of education and that applying the principles of inclusive design will ensure that the range of student diversities, abilities, and needs are being met through a number of teaching and learning strategies.

The Certificate is comprised of seven 3-hour learning modules, a coaching session, and a reflection activity. Upon successful completion of these components, participants receive a Certificate of Completion.

Note: The modules must be taken in the following order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
