Sikh Heritage Initiative

OESSTA has teamed with the Sikh Heritage Museum of Canada http://shmc.ca/ to create teaching/learning resources in English and French that can be used by teachers and students in the classroom. The resources highlight Sikh heritage and key ideas in the 2018  Revised SSHG curriculum. Also, OESSTA will  use the resources while we offer professional learning opportunities (summer institutes, conferences and  school board professional learning sessions).
