Thank you to all of the educators and community members who joined us last week at Where Stories Begin: Land Relationships in the Early Years! It was a wonderful morning spent out in nature at Ska-Nah-Doht Village and Museum engaging with hands-on activities that demonstrate how story, land, and Indigenous knowledge can be woven into early learning environments.

A special thank you to Aboriginal Babies & Beyond Coalition and the Southwest Ontario Aboriginal Health Access Centre for organizing this fantastic opportunity, to Kristi White for sharing your children's book with our educators with ways educators can bring it into their programs, and to all the community members who came together to share your knowledge during this meaningful morning!

Explore how the language we use around food and our own attitudes can influence children’s willingness to try new foods. 🍅🍉🍏 Facilitated by Andrew Fleet, Executive Director of Growing Chefs! Ontario, this session will teach practical strategies for creating positive food experiences, teach participants how to understand the broader role of food in children’s development, and share insights from a chef’s and food educator’s perspective. Educators will leave with actionable tools to foster curiosity, confidence, and enjoyment around food in their programs.
