Indigenous Learning across the Seasons

Indigenous Learning across the Seasons

Free 1 Hour Virtual Workshop! Tues, Sept 30 at 4pm Pacific / 7pm Eastern Time

Join Director of Indigenous Learning, Jenna Jasek (Secwépemc, Ktunaxa) who will be accompanied by 4 incredible Indigenous educators: Monique Gray Smith, Launa Payne-Purcell, Alyson McMullen and Myah Birrell! They will each showcase resources for learning about Truth and Reconciliation for self-practice and to share with students, colleagues, community members, friends and family.

To recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day on September 30, we also want to recognize that undertaking meaningful positive change needs to happen beyond a day or week each year. We invite you to participate in this welcoming workshop to better learn, recognize and take action in your truth and reconciliation practice through all seasons. 

Jenna Jasek is a certified teacher of 20 years, a graduate of the Indigenous Teacher Education Program (NITEP), holds a Master’s of Special Education and is the former VP for Indigenous Learning and Equity for Rocky Mountain School Board. In 2025 she graduated from the Secwépemc Language Fluency Certificate Program. An Indigenous Advisor with us for many years, Jenna helped to launch the Outdoor Learning School & Store, and co-created the 4 Seasons of Indigenous Learning initiative which she now coordinates.
