About Media Literacy Week

Media Literacy Week (MLW) is an annual event promoting digital and media literacy across Canada. Schools, libraries, museums and community groups organize events and activities throughout the week.

In 2020, we’re encouraging Canadians of all ages to be good digital citizens by checking the info they see online before sharing it. Take part by becoming a Collaborator, planning digital and media literacy activities for your classroom, and by spreading the word on social media using #MediaLitWk!

Orange Shirt Day

 Thank you to everyone who wore orange to support Orange Shirt Day.

"On this day of September 30th, we call upon humanity to listen with open ears to the stories of survivors and their families, and to remember those that didn’t make it."  (https://www.orangeshirtday.org/about-us.html)

Please visit https://www.orangeshirtday.org/ for more information.

And visit the Learning Commons to browse our colleciton of Indigenous resources. Here are some of the books we displayed for Orange Shirt Day.

Every child matters . . . every day.

Books Belonging to Other Schools

Do you have a book that belongs to another school? I can help you with that! 

Please return it to me in the Learning Commons and I will send it to other school. No worries. Easy peasy! 

If I'm not in the Learning Commons when you visit, please put it in the bin and I will find it when I check in all of the books. 

Happy reading!
