Niagara University Hosting Indigenous Education Conference in Toronto
A Niagara University-organized conference being held Friday in Toronto will help educators learn teaching methods for students who hail from indigenous communities.
The Indigenous Education Conference will be held from 9 a.m.-2:30 p.m. on Feb. 9 at Pope Francis Catholic Elementary School.
“This conference is part of an ongoing initiative within our university and college, specifically, to embrace the diversity of students in schools by providing the men and women educating them with the tools to help them flourish,” said Dr. Chandra Foote, dean of NU’s College of Education.
Friday’s conference will also include an acknowledgement that Pope Francis Catholic Elementary School rests on traditional territories.
