Explore how one Food Sovereignty Program in Toronto centres Indigenous land-based learning and education, Indigenous ways of knowing, and the protection of Indigenous food systems
The Indigenous Food Sovereignty Program through the Urban Indigenous Education Centre was founded in 2019 by System Superintendent and Board Lead of Indigenous Education, Tanya Senk. It was developed with the support of the Elders Council and the Indigenous Education Office of the Ministry of Education, Ontario.
Since then, the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) has seen students thrive in this first-of-its-kind program that centres Indigenous food sovereignty and traditional foodways at three sites across Toronto.
In this webinar, you will learn how the Food Sovereignty Program centres Indigenous land-based learning and education, Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing, and the protection and promotion of Indigenous food systems.
Presented by the Sustainability & Climate Action Network at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) in partnership with TDSB EcoSchools.
