This summer the School-Age 2 Groups from the Clothier Street Site and Holy Cross Site have been participating in a leadership club.
Our first project was to look at our website and see if there was anything they would like to add to give their own voices to the website. We noticed that the reviews in our review section were all written by parents and that there were none by the children in our centres.
They decided to interview their friends in their programs and turned those interviews into reviews. Below is what they've created.
For our Leadership club's larger summer project we worked together to create a Land Acknowledgement for our website. Over the past few weeks the School-Age 2 kids in our Leadership Club learned about what land acknowledgements are, they learned about the traditional lands our centres occupy, reviewed and studied some sample land acknowledgements from their schools and our communities, and then used what we learned to put together a land acknowledgement for our centers.
A, S, and A from our Clothier Street Site, and E and J from our Holy Cross Site worked together with Courtney to put together a land acknowledgement that is now on our 'About' page.
Down below is the culmination of their hard work:
MTJB Land Acknowledgement:
More Than Just Babysitting Child Care Centre Inc. acknowledges that our centres are located on the unceded traditional territories of the Algonquin, Anishinaabeg (Ah-nish-ih-nah'-bey), and Haudenosaunee (hoh-DEE-noh-SHoh-nee) peoples. We are dedicated to reconciliation through learning about the traditional guardians of these lands and sharing our learning with others. We respect these lands that we play, learn, and grow on, and the diverse cultures of the people who call these lands home.
MTJB is committed to fostering a caring community that supports our youngest generations, while looking forward to our impact on the next seven generations. Our goal is to teach children in our care how to be good to everyone and how to take care of everything and everyone on Turtle Island. As a child care centre, the wellbeing of our community’s children is our top priority, and involving them in our journey towards reconciliation, and learning with them, is our goal.
