“It was truly an amazing talk and one that has breathed into me, a life force breath I have needed as a human and educator in this field for 30 years. I have attended many workshops in order to learn, decolonize, grow,  be an ally and truly a more effective educator. This is the workshop I have been waiting for.” The Halton Resource Connection, Indigenous Perspectives on Early Childhood Education Workshop

She encourages educators to analyze how colonization has shaped their educational practices and encourages everyone to question what they can do to promote a holistic environment for all students…We deeply appreciate the gift of knowledge that Candace shared with us through her presentation and look forward to hearing more about her relentless success. Meegwetch Candace!” Moosonee Public School, Decolonizing Your Classroom Workshop
