"I just can't emphasize enough what an incredible experience this was for our whole school. Journey to Africville was a perfect blend of rich learning and an inspiring call to action to uncover Canada's hidden stories and their relevance in understanding - and changing - the Canada we live in today. Staff and students just can't stop talking about it!"
- Melanie Williams, Assistant Department Head, CWS, Glendale Secondary School

Since our inception in 2014, our goals have been to restore honour and dignity to the First Peoples by empowering their voices and their stories in our assemblies. Students will gain first hand knowledge from elders and leaders, who share their painful stories of the past, to compel us all towards unity and love.
