Description

In this online workshop, presented by Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) Advisors, we will focus on a brief overview of Métis history, culture and way of life. The session will also include information highlighting MNO ELCC programs and services for Métis children and families.                         

The ELCC Advisor Team at the Métis Nation of Ontario is dedicated to enhancing relationships with existing early learning and child care centres and programs, home child care, colleges and Métis RECEs across Ontario and strengthening partnerships with regional municipalities and school boards.

 

We are promoting and fostering these partnerships through community development; building collaborative relationships with ELCC stakeholders to increase awareness of Métis culture and way of life, which can be incorporated into early years programming.
