Facilitated by Yasmine Djerbal, Centre for Teaching and Learning; Panelists: Clarissa de Leon, Faculty of Education and Centre for Teaching and Learning; Rebecca Hall, Development Studies; Carolyn Prouse; Geography and Planning; Toni Thorton, Arts & Science Online
30 September is recognized as National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. As we reflect on our responsibilities to fulfill the TRC recommendations as educators and to fight for Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination, this panel of non-Indigenous educators share some reflections and strategies they have employed in their classrooms, curriculum, and research.
Sign up
Following the panel, visit the exhibition Land Protectors curated by Paige Van Tassel or attend a 15-minute guided tour with Nasrin Himada, Associate Curator, Academic Outreach and Community Engagement at Agnes.
Co-sponsored by the Centre for Teaching and Learning and the Agnes Etherington Art Centre

New School Program
In-person, Tuesdays–Fridays 4 October–2 December, 10 am and 1 pm
 Students in grades 1–8 explore their other-than-human relations—land, animals, plant life—examining the role they play in protecting the land, followed by a workshop where they have the chance to reflect on and create a work of art portraying a place they most want to protect. The tour looks at relationships between us as a people and the environment while engaging with art by Robert Houle, Roy Kakegamic, Jane Ash Poitras, Joe David and more in the exhibition Land Protectors.
Fill out the booking request form and the Program Team will confirm your field trip time! We can’t wait to have you visit in person again.
Fee: $60/class (*Limestone District School Board is supporting their classes by covering this fee.)
The Student Docent training program is generously supported by the Lloyd Carr-Harris Foundation.

In the News
“Through Where Were You in ‘92? at the Agnes Etherington Centre, [Pamila] Matharu brings the past forward through history and geography, not only to present the “embodied archives” of Fresh Arts “with sound, image, found texts and acts of counter-archiving of personal and political experience”, but to underscore the art and longstanding influence of her mentor Winsom Winsom.”
Read the article and visit the exhibitions at Agnes on view until 4 December 2022.
