About this Event
This year’s conference will be held at White Oaks Resort and Spa in Niagara-On-The-Lake on March 6-8, 2026.
Our conference provides an opportunity for educators from across Ontario to enhance their knowledge of Métis culture and learn how to support Métis children in classrooms and the community. The conference will strengthen participants' knowledge of Métis culture, way of life, and how to incorporate the knowledge they acquire into their learning environments in a respectful and non-appropriating way. This year’s conference will be centred around the theme of land- and nature-based early learning. Participants will engage in professional development opportunities and obtain helpful resources to utilize within their learning environments.
