Education day is organized with the assistance and support of the Elementary Teachers
Federation of Ontario, the Ontario Teachers Federation, the Ontario English Catholic
Teachers Association, Indian and Northern Affairs, the Ministry of Education and Hydro
One.

The students from Hamilton and surrounding areas will have a number of topic
options from as many as hirty teaching stations in the coliseum ranging from heritage and
culture, traditional games, dancing and more. The majority of the teaching stations
are participatory.

All of the teachings are directly tied to the school curriculum for Native Studies
through the use of teaching guides prepared by the Aboriginal Teachers Committee of the
Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.

Teachers attending with their classes are provided with printed materials, including the
teaching guides and more to assist them in teaching Native Studies.

Surveys of Teachers in attendance over the past five years have given Education
Day a ninety plus percentage approval rate.
