Elk Island Public Schools has the honour of hosting the Witness Blanket this year. The Witness Blanket is a very profound and powerful exhibit from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights created by master carver Carey Newman. This art installation was created to recognize the atrocities of the residential school era, honour the children and symbolize ongoing reconciliation. Grades 4-12 classes are invited to visit the Witness Blanket from May 23 to June 26.
EduKits for the 2025-26 school year will be available for booking from Tuesday, June 3 at 12 p.m. until Thursday, June 5 at 4 p.m. EduKits are curated educational resource packages designed to support the integration of Indigenous foundational knowledge into classroom and community learning. Rooted in Indigenous worldviews, these kits provide educators and learners with culturally appropriate, hands-on materials and guided activities that honor Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing. The link to book will be emailed to your lead teacher, and kits should only be booked by one person from your school.
