Great to have you join us! Social Studies and Career Education classes are definitely who we need joining the conversation on #civicengagement #Forum4YC
@forum4YC St. Thomas Aquinas Regional Secondary is at Summit 360 - My Social Studies 10 and Career Education 10 classes are looking forward to proceedings as the days move along! 👀🇨🇦 💪
Our final day of #CatapultWinnipeg23 has been full. We’ve made new relations, shared our aspirations for how we can make each other’s work better.
One big reminder thanks to @rldarwent and @sharif_84 was of the power and value of our origin stories. We are leaving #winnipeg today looking forward to the possibilities we’ve unlocked by coming together as a community committed to increasing equity of access to learning.
Hosting extraordinaire by the incomparable @jillianclark and @davidpleonard allowed us pull off a packed, yet well spaced agenda, on time and on budget, with lots of laughs and insights. Thank you #Winnipeg! We will be back. chi miigwech.

Le rassemblement national de Catapulte Canada est en cours à Winnipeg !
Notre directeur des partenariats nationaux d'apprentissage, @ikemopara, s'adresse à nos 48 organisations partenaires d'un océan à l'autre.
@MentoringCanada has been working with #CatapultCanada funded projects over the last year to build their capacity to design and deliver quality #mentorship programs. Do you know about their Quality Mentoring System?
Our partners from across the country are learning more about it right now at #CatapultWinnipeg23
Breakfast and hydration check! Opened in a good way thanks to Grandmother Helen, and @jillianclark is up to lead us along the day. #CatapultWinnipeg23
My first time ever in #Manitoba! With the @RideauHallFdn team and 50 of our project partners from across the country who are working to increase equity of access to #learning #CatapultWinnipeg23 Day 2 starts now.
Yesterday’s welcome was complete even with some classic Winnipeg weather. Looking forward to Day2 of #CatapultWinnipeg23 where we learn from all our @RideauHallFdn project partners from across the country, what they’ve been up to these last few years.
Day 1 was amazing! Meeting the #CatapultCanada community in person was exactly as enriching as we’d hoped it would be. Lots of new connections and opportunities to learn together. #CatapultWinnipeg23
Today we kick off the RHF’s first ever Catapult Canada Gathering, bringing together a community of 50 like-minded organizations all working to eliminate barriers to learning.

"When we engage in the diplomacy of knowledge, everyone benefits," says the Right Honourable David Johnston.
Scholars who have an international experience tend to be more resilient in the global economy and are more engaged in promoting respect for human diversity and dignity.

I’m enjoying every minute of going on this journey with you and the @QEScholars @RideauHallFdn teams and partners! What an amazing kickoff at this first one hosted by @LtGovNS.
I’m spending much of this fall producing a cross-Canada series of events with the @QEScholars and @RideauHallFdn.
It’s always such a good feeling to get to know the smart, energetic, innovative people (#QEscholars) who are devoting themselves to shaping the future.
Thank you @LtGovNS for hosting the first in our cross Canada tour highlighting the work of @QEScholars in advancing various academic fields of knowledge, all while building stronger bonds with partners the world over. #QEScholars
The @LtGovNS the Honourable Arthur J. LeBlanc hosted a reception today where Queen Elizabeth Scholars had the opportunity to share their stories of academic diplomacy. #QEScholars
Thank you, Your Honour, for your generous hospitality!
