Starting today, Albertans will have the opportunity to participate in virtual information and engagement sessions being held around the province until February 28, 2022.

Sessions will include focused, small group conversations facilitated by independent engagement specialists. During each session, the draft K-6 social studies design blueprint or one draft K-6 subject will be considered and discussed so Albertans can share their local insights and unique perspectives.
