Everyone welcome.

I am a Witness- Human Rights Tribunal Background:

In 2007, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada (the Caring Society) brought a complaint against Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) to demand equity and culturally relevant child welfare services for First Nations children on reserves. The case was brought to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. In 2011, the chair of the Tribunal dismissed the case due to a legal technicality. In February 2012, the AFN and the Caring Society are appealing the chair’s decision and will be taking this case to Federal Court.

At Lady Evelyn we are striving towards creative methods of assessment and evaluation. To help us understand the importance of alternative evaluation practices, Parent Council has invited Professor Joel Weistheimer to deliver his presentation: No Child Left Thinking.


Joel Weistheimer is University Research Chair in democracy and education at the University of Ottawa. He will discuss how an achievement-oriented system discourages deeper consideration of important ideas and limits in-depth critical analysis.
