Next year’s celebration to mark Manitoba’s 150 anniversary will not only allow students to learn about the province’s past, but also help guide them to become leaders of the future.
The Manitoba 150 Host Committee announced on Thursday that it has partnered with Canad Inns to develop Learn 150, a bilingual curriculum that was created here and will begin in January.
“Having partnered with We Day in Manitoba for nearly a decade, Canad Inns has seen the impact that inspiration, hope, and knowledge can make on our youth,” Lea Ledohowski, Canad Inns president, said in a statement.
“On the anniversary of Manitoba’s 150th year since joining Canada, Canad Inns is proud to bring new offerings, specifically designed for Manitoba educators and students, to our community.”
Learn 150 will help students learn about the province’s history with a focus on diversity and reconciliation, as well as the importance of healthy choices and an active lifestyle.
“The Learn 150 curriculum, designed specifically for Manitoba, will facilitate learning and encourage dialogue about our past, present and future to students of all ages, across the entire province, in both official languages,” Education Minister Kelvin Goertzen said in a statement.
“This is an exciting program to offer our community.”
Monique LaCoste, co-chair of the Manitoba 150 host committee, said “the new curriculum will give Manitoba students in kindergarten through Grade 12 the skills they need to be the leaders of tomorrow.”
