Canadian educators are being called to action by the TRC, their school boards, and by their students, yet many are left wondering how to respond to these calls. With this in mind, and having been deeply impacted by the Call to Action program at the U of C, Sarah Charlebois crafted a website with the aim of helping educators be better equipped and feel more comfortable teaching students about Indigenous cultures, histories, languages, the importance of treaties, and the legacy of residential schools. Her vision for this website is that it will continue to develop and grow in a collaborative manner as she continues to develop her own reconciliatory goals.

Alyssa Fehr, CBE teacher
ReDress moves to alternative learning spaces
Alyssa entered our program in its first year (2016-17) and was inspired to take up her service-learning project in a variety of ways through an after-school alternative learning program meant to support Indigenous learners. Together, they produced a book of Hope, met with Elders, sewed Red Dresses in honour of missing and murdered family members, and organized a public display of the ReDress Project at a local mall. Her project was later featured at the downtown Calgary Board of Education offices.
