Alberta Culture Days: Teacher Workshop

As part of Alberta Culture Days in September, we are excited to release both the Paint the Rails (PTR) Legacy Book and the virtual Teacher Resource to schools. Paint the Rails is collaboration between local artists, elders, and various community organizations that produced five beautiful public murals painted throughout Edmonton LRT and transit stations. Use this legacy book to engage your students in understanding and celebrating stories of strength, resilience and settlement of eleven distinct communities within the city of Edmonton.

We have built a corresponding Teacher Resource to support educators in using the book’s many key features in their classrooms. This is a fantastic resource to engage students in learning about history, diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism. Register on September 20th to learn how to use the virtual teacher resource to better incorporate the PTR Legacy book in your classrooms.
