As many of you took the time to honour National Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 30, 2025, by deepening your understanding of the children who never returned home and the lasting impacts of residential schools on survivors, their families, and communities, the Early Learning Quality Initiative would like to offer additional resources. We invite you to explore our self-directed Indigenous learning materials, designed to support continued reflection, education, and reconciliation.
Throughout this site you will find opportunities to engage in various professional learning opportunities to further your understanding and knowledge about Indigenous perspectives. This resource was compiled by Early Learning Quality Initiative and coincides with the various resources we also have available in the library.
In the ELQI and Travelling Tales libraries you can find:
Various books and resources about Indigenous Peoples
ELQI is a registered legacy school with the Gord Downie & and Chanie Wenjeck Fund
Metis Nation of Ontario Early Learning and Childcare Kits
We invite you to explore the site and hope these resources support and enrich your learning journey.
