Indigenous Learners (Co-hosted by ONLC)

Block 1:

Good Learning Anywhere has been working with Correctional Services Canada (ON) education staff since 2022 to provide access to digital adult literacy courses to inmates. The program utilizes an internal secure Learning Management System developed by CSC ON education staff. 

The program has been awarded the ABC Canada Life Literacy award, a Peter Gzowski Foundation for Literacy Grant and was featured in a 2-part W5 series in April 2025. What started as a small pilot has grown to include more facilities and community partners. By offering access to digital learning before release, the program prepares individuals for successful reintegration into society. When inmates are equipped with education and skills, they are less likely to re-offend, contributing to a safer community for everyone. 

Good Learning Anywhere has been involved in digital learning for over 20 years. They are the Indigenous eChannel lead and are a part of the Sioux-Hudson Literacy Council located in Sioux Lookout, ON which also operates a Community LBS site.

Trauma-Informed Care: Understanding Trauma and Creating Safety Training To equip service providers with knowledge on trauma and practical tools on how to support clients who have experienced trauma. We will discuss how service providers can care for themselves in doing this work.
