Jaime Mann & Shannon Gander presented two awesome workshops over both days, we had lots of fun at the social evening where 8 groups entertained us with their outstanding lip sync abilities.

This Saturday, Jamye Lovering led a group of educators on an engaging urban forest school exploration at Living Prairie Museum.

we wrapped up our networking walk & talk for 2026 this evening at Assiniboine park!

Thank you to all of you who have come to these walks over the past year - we look forward to seeing you again in the spring!

Did you know: our networking walk and talks are casual walks free for educators to get outside and walk with friends or meet some new ones!

It’s the perfect way to decompress after a long day & sure to help you get a good nights rest.

See you in 2027!

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, MCCA is honoured to share our Land Acknowledgement.

This Land Acknowledgement was created with contributions from MCCA staff and members, with guidance from Joanna White.

A Land Acknowledgement is more than words. It is an opportunity to recognize the history of the land we live and work on, honour Indigenous peoples and communities, and reflect on our responsibilities as we continue the work of reconciliation.

Today, we listen, reflect, remember, and commit to continuing this work.

🧡 Tomorrow, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, our office will be closed in recognition and reflection of the day.

We honour Survivors, their families, and Indigenous communities, and remain committed to listening, learning, and continuing the work of reconciliation.
