Nelson is proudly Canadian. 🇨🇦 Now more than ever, we need to ensure that Canadian-made learning resources get into Canadian classrooms. Over the last decade, more and more classrooms have relied on learning resources that are not specifically aligned to each Provincial curriculum. We encourage the educational community to choose Canadian where possible for the betterment of teachers, students, and for Canada. We hope this trade war with our US allies is short-lived. We stand with our country.
