Outdoor Learning Conference 2026

This hands-on session invites educators to explore math through the lens of ethical space, a concept introduced by Cree scholar Willie Ermine, where Indigenous and Western worldviews meet in mutual respect. Participants will engage in land-based activities that connect Shape and Space outcomes with Indigenous knowledge systems and Treaty education. Together, we will reflect on how land teaches us, how math supports truth and reconciliation, and how to embed Indigenous perspectives authentically without appropriation. Educators will leave with practical strategies, planning tools, and a deeper understanding of how to honour both worldviews in their classrooms.
