The Aboriginal Education Centre is a very active arm of the Toronto District School Board. Its mandate is to place Indigenous Artists/Educators into schools to bring First Nations History, Culture, and Spirituality into the light from an Indigenous perspective.  I have had the honour of working with the Centre on and off over the past several years.  Recently, we decided to make it a bit more permanent much to our mutual delight. 

I know I will be busy in November because it is Aboriginal Education Month in Toronto.

“The history of Canada begins with Aboriginal peoples,” says Catherine Pawis, Central Coordinating Principal – Aboriginal Education. “By commemorating Aboriginal Education Month, we respect the enduring place that First Nation, Métis and Inuit peoples hold in contemporary Canadian society.”
