VOTING RIGHTS THROUGH TIME with Elections Canada How inclusive is our democracy? In this session, students will discover that the right to vote hasn't always existed for everyone. In small group conversations, students will examine historical case studies of inclusion. Together, they will place event cards on a timeline activity board to build their own story of the past. Students of all abilities are included in this activity that allows opportunities for collaboration, conversation, and reflection. INDIGENOUS PEOPLE A ND THE L AW with Level Justice For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples have passed down legal traditions from one generation to the next. Yet, these rich oral histories and laws are rarely, if ever, taught in Canadian schools. This lesson will explore Indigenous legal practices by examining their unique histories and the ways in which these traditions focus on restoring peace and balance within the community. Students will engage in reflection activities, case study analyses, and discussions that examine the ways in which Indigenous legal traditions differ from Western legal traditions and Canada's justice system. EMPATH Y A ND THE L AW: INDIGENOUS A PPROACHES with Level Justice When you think of the law, do you think of empathy? In this session, students will learn that empathy is a skill not necessarily promoted through justice education. However, students will discover that empathy is incredibly important in order to effectively respond and understand the root causes of an offense. Students will engage in reflection activities, case study analyses, and discussions in order to learn that empathy improves our communication and provides us with the tools to approach conflict from a place of healing and restoring what has been broken.
