CanLearn Society

In honour of National Indigenous History Month, we’re highlighting the story behind Nathan P. Meguinis’s mural, Travelling Family, which found its home on the north wall of CanLearn Society in August 2021. What began as an unplanned addition turned out to beautifully reflect our commitment to anti-discrimination, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

If you haven’t had the chance to see it yet, we encourage you to visit and experience its powerful message for yourself.

Through meaningful symbols, colours, and characters, the mural speaks to the voices of children affected by residential schools while reclaiming space for Indigenous ways of knowing. It invites us to listen more deeply, broadening our understanding and inspiring us to continue building peace.

This collaboration has opened the door to important conversations, bringing hope and creating positive change. It’s a reminder of how vital it is to uplift voices that have been historically excluded and to centre them in the work we do.

Thank you, Nathan, for sharing your remarkable gift with us.

💬 “How can they get their ideas onto paper more easily?”

At CanLearn, we provide tools, strategies, and personalized support to help learners build confidence and succeed.✨
