Accordingly to a large study by the University of Michigan, family meals are the single strongest predictor of better achievement scores and fewer behaviour problems for children 3 to 12.

Breaking Down Walls to Integrate Arts into Learning

ArtsSmarts is the largest education initiative in Canada dedicated to improving the lives and learning capacity of Canadian children by injecting arts into their academic programs.

ArtsSmarts…

  • Ignites young people’s excitement about learning core curricula through the arts.
  • Inspires collaboration among artists, and educators, schools and communities.
  • Invests financially and strategically in creative learning networks at the local, regional, provincial and national level to build capacity for arts and education.
  • Supports a new vision for public education in Canada.

Inter-Generational Connections Key to Enriching Learning

The New Horizons Project

Project Rationale:

The population of the Outer Gulf Islands in British Columbia (Pender, Mayne, Galiano, and Saturna) is aging. There are relatively fewer school-aged children every year, and opportunities for school aged children and senior citizens to interact and form the constructive relationships that infuse and support healthy communities are diminishing.
