learning and teaching at ‘Mittens in the Snow’

child care partners will take part in an outdoor education conference Jan. 26
at the Tiffin Centre for Conservation.
Mittens
in the Snow will
feature hands-on workshops and presentations exploring topics like mindfulness,
naturalized outdoor play, basic wildlife tracking, snow shelter building and snow
survival, traditional First Nations games and more. Educators from Kindergarten
to Grade 12 will be in attendance.
Intermediate
and senior level teachers will participate in Project WILD and Below Zero facilitation programs
through the Canadian Wildlife Federation.
