CICan announces launch of pan-Canadian ECE initiative

News

Colleges and Institutes Canada, the Lawson Foundation, and Waltons Trust have launched a new pan-Canadian initiative focused on strengthening early childhood education (ECE). The initiative, supported by $5M from the Lawson Foundation and Waltons Trust, is focused on better preparing the next generation of ECE professionals by integrating outdoor, land-based, and Indigenous-informed approaches into ECE programs. A total of 29 postsecondary institutions will be involved in the project through communities of practice, funded projects, and targeted supports. The project is also expected to support the development of open educational resources.
