Early Childhood Centre, University of New Brunswick

On September 27 we attended a sacred fire and drumming ceremony at St. Thomas Unversity to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

As a classroom community, we greatly value Indigenous knowledge and ways of being. The holistic nature of Indigenous teachings aligns closely with our pedagogy and we are committed to continuous learning, creating space for Indigenous culture, allyship and our responsibilities to the Truth and Reconciliation calls to action.

Here you will find a few recent photos of our Centre!
