I am so inspired by the students across my school division, the Louis Riel School Division, who spoke of the importance of learning outside, and how they want to be part of their regular learning in school. They spoke of the need for outdoor learning at the Youth Summit in 2021, because of its effect on wellness, and how it inspires us to take care of the environment. In the fall of 2022, I was honoured to be invited by my school division to present on learning the Arts Outside as part of the Educators' Summit, for the Indigenous and Land Based Learning call to action. Learning outside meets 3 of the 4 calls to action that were highlighted by LRSD students: learner choice and voice, mental health and well-being, and indigenous education and land-based learning.

I am so excited to see where outdoor learning goes in our division, now that it is considered a top priority from the Youth and Educator Summits: I was honoured to have been invited to present at #MTSPDAY for the Manitoba Association of Multi-Age Educators, in a session called "Taking the Arts Outside".

It was wonderful to attend and learn so much from like-minded educators who see the importance of connecting students to nature through various subjects, and nature in and of itself:
