We hope you will honour their legacies and act to make their dream of making Canada a better, more equitable country, a reality. Do Something.” A Message from the Families Chi miigwetch, thank you, to everyone who has signed up for the Legacy Schools program and continues to support the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF). We believe it is so important for all peoples in Canada to understand the true history and impact of residential schools, so the distinct cultures and strengths of Indigenous Peoples throughout all of Canada can be better acknowledged and appreciated today. Even during these trying times, you have shown the strength to continue to “Do Something”. Thank you for joining us on this journey towards reconciliation. “This pandemic teaches us one thing only: to love one another. One of the greatest teachings, from one who is greater than us – In the Wenjack families’ culture we call him Creator. We believe we have strayed from the original teachings, and that we need to be reminded of what that was. Our mother always asked her children to cover their mouth and nose when they played outside in the winter, so the concept of mask wearing is not new to Indigenous communities. The Elders understand the protection that isolation can provide as well as protecting yourself from the elements.” – Pearl (Wenjack) Achneepineskum We thank you for continuing to share Chanie and Gord’s experiences and helping to keep their legacies alive by being aware, continuing to educate, and connecting with one another though reconciliACTIONs. Both of our families have witnessed the beautiful work being done by Legacy Schools. Students, staff, teachers and communities have sent us their work and we continue to be amazed every day as the program continues to grow and the passion deepens. We love visiting your schools, communities and events and we value the gifts sent to us. Such incredible drawings, poems, essays, art, videos, songs, Walk for Wenjack photos, and letters all full of compassion and love. None of this would be possible without all of you. In Unity, Mike Downie & Harriet Visitor Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund In the Present Chanie’s sisters still reside in Ogoki Post in Northern Ontario. Much like the Downies, many of whom still live in Kingston or Toronto, they enjoy hearing from Legacy Schools students and staff. Your letters, drawings, songs and stories are shared with them and inspire all of us at DWF every day. Please share your work with us. Your work directly impacts us and is the driving force behind a national movement of reconciliation. All my relations “All my relations” is a holistic philosophy that has guided the Indigenous way of life since time immemorial. At the heart of “all my relations” is the importance of the interrelationships among everything from the unknowns of the cosmos to all forms of life, animate and inanimate, on Mother Earth. Indigenous ways of knowing and being are centered around respect, relevance, reciprocity and responsibility to maintain the balance of these interconnections. All my relations.

Your work directly impacts us and is the driving force behind a national movement of reconciliation. 6 Mental Health Support Topics and materials used in educating people about the residential school system can include highly sensitive subject matter and may cause heightened emotional responses from any number of people. It takes courage to talk about your feelings and it helps when others understand what life can be like for you. The impact and effects of residential schools still exist today and are experienced by many Indigenous Peoples, families, and communities. For this reason, subjects and material may be even more difficult and upsetting for Indigenous students, teachers, staff, and those directly affected by intergenerational trauma caused by residential schools. Be aware that emotional experiences can be shared, strong feelings may present themselves, and uncomfortable questions may be asked. Always review material and be familiar with the content prior to beginning any presentations relating to this subject matter. Be certain that everyone knows how to access support. Health Canada provides a free 24-hour crisis line for Survivors and their families affected by the residential school system (also available in French). The 24-HOUR residential school support line: 1-866-925-4419. Cultural Safety Cultural Safety originated within the New Zealand health care system. It was developed to improve care and create respectful relations with Maori (Indigenous Peoples). Cultural Safety takes into consideration historical and social contexts to address inequities, and is not solely focused on simply understanding “Indigenous culture”. It is an overall approach to being more comprehensive in that it does not just focus on supporting individuals but improving the system as a whole. Its aim is to provide a meaningful system of care. Cecilia Jeffrey School, 1963, Photo courtesy of The Presbyterian Church in Canada The impact and effects of residential schools still exist today and are experienced by many Indigenous Peoples, families, and communities. 7 Prepare yourself and your students These conversations are not easy. We recommend that educators prepare themselves and their students for these difficult conversations. Some teachers take the time to let students know that this may be upsetting. Many educators have described these conversations as “getting comfortable with being uncomfortable.” We are all learning together and we’re here to help if you need us. Building connection is one of DWF’s pillars so no one needs to teach these subjects without support and education. Crisis Services Canada Available to all Canadians seeking support.

    Cycling 11 as a Step to Align Learning in Secondary Schools with Learning in the ‘Real World’ by Darryl Dietrich A GRADUATING PAPER SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Master of Education in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Curriculum and Pedagogy) The University of British Columbia ©Darryl Dietrich June 26, 2013 Acknowledgement My graduate advisor and project supervisor, Dr. Marina Milner-Bolotin, has provided guidance and support in the completion of this paper. I am extremely thankful for the time she has committed and the advice she has provided to help keep this project on track. I would also like to thank the Magee Secondary School community, namely colleagues and administrators for the assistance and support for bringing Cycling 11 to fruition as a locally developed course to run in Vancouver secondary schools. Lastly, and most importantly, thank you to my partner, Allison, who has been so very supportive over the duration of this Master’s program. The wisdom, advice, and support of many are very much appreciated. 2 Abstract “If we want young people with the competencies to innovate and make our economy more competitive, we need to model our schools after how innovation actually happens”1 ~Dr. Pasi Sahlberg (Finnish educator, scholar, and policy advisor) As I see it, the educational landscape in British Columbia, Canada is contradictory in its present state. Our education system, from the Ministry of Education at the top, down to teachers and students in classrooms, are not preparing students for success in the post-secondary world. There is a disconnect between how people learn after secondary school with how we expect them to learn while enrolled in school.

In tribute to their outstanding contributions to education in Alberta, 128 teachers from across the province have been chosen as finalists for the 15th annual Excellence in Teaching Awards. Three of these finalists are in the running for the SMARTer Kids Foundation Innovative Use of Technology Award. "Great teachers do more than teach. They ignite a desire for learning and knowledge that will equip our young people for lifelong success," said Dr. Lyle Oberg, Minister of Learning. "These finalists are representative of the many teachers across Alberta whose commitment and innovative approaches to learning inspire students and colleagues." The 128 finalists will receive finalist award certificates, which will be presented to them at local ceremonies in their schools or communities. The finalists were chosen from 418 nominees by a selection committee of representatives of stakeholder groups and education partners in the Early Childhood Services (ECS) to Grade 12 learning community. Finalists for the Excellence in Teaching Awards demonstrated creativity, innovation and effectiveness in teaching. On May 10, 2003, a dinner and awards ceremony will be held in Edmonton to present Excellence in Teaching Awards to 21 of Alberta's most outstanding teachers, one of whom will be awarded the SMARTer Kids Foundation Innovative Use of Technology Award. Recipients will be selected from the 128 finalists. "The Excellence in Teaching Awards are an important way to publicly recognize teachers who have demonstrated their dedication to education in this province," added Dr. Oberg.

    Legacy Schools ReconciliACTION Guide Contents 3 INTRODUCTION 4 WELCOME TO THE LEGACY SCHOOLS PROGRAM 5 LEGACY SCHOOLS COMMITMENT 6 BACKGROUND 10 RECONCILIACTIONS 12 SECRET PATH WEEK 13 FUNDRAISING 15 MEDIA & SOCIAL MEDIA A Message from the Families Chi miigwetch, thank you, to everyone who has supported the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund. When our families embarked upon this journey, we never imagined the potential for Gord’s telling of Chanie’s story to create a national movement that could further reconciliation and help to build a better Canada. We truly believe it’s so important for all Canadians to understand the true history of Indigenous people in Canada; including the horrific truths of what happened in the residential school system, and the strength and resilience of Indigenous culture and peoples. It’s incredible to reflect upon the beautiful gifts both Chanie & Gord were able to leave us with. On behalf of both the Downie & Wenjack families -- Chi miigwetch, thank you for joining us on this path. We are stronger together. In Unity, MIKE DOWNIE & HARRIET VISITOR Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund 3 Introduction The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF) is part of Gord Downie’s legacy and embodies his commitment, and that of his family, to improving the lives of Indigenous peoples in Canada. In collaboration with the Wenjack family, the goal of the Fund is to continue the conversation that began with Chanie Wenjack’s residential school story, and to aid our collective reconciliation journey through a combination of awareness, education and connection. Our Mission Inspired by Chanie’s story and Gord’s call to action to build a better Canada, the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF) aims to build cultural understanding and create a path toward reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.
