Join us on May 1st and 2nd for CanvasCon & Camp Horizon hosted by CTLI. This year, the two events are packaged together as a two-day professional development event, starting off with CanvasCon on the morning of May 1st and then switching over to Camp Horizon for the afternoon of May 1st and morning of May 2nd.
CanvasCon is Lethbridge Polytechnic’s annual event focused on teaching and learning with Canvas. Each year, we come together to explore new features and discover practical tools that enhance the learning experience. It’s a chance to connect, learn, and get inspired. This year’s format includes one group session followed by two time slots with repeating sessions, so you can choose what interests you most!
Camp Horizon is a two-day professional development event for all instructors at Lethbridge Polytechnic. Staff involved in teaching and learning are also welcome to attend any sessions that seem relevant to their work or beneficial to their professional development goals. This event is an opportunity to connect with colleagues and participate in sessions related to TEF-aligned teaching practices, wellness, and community building.
Together, CanvasCon and Camp Horizon provide time & space to celebrate of all the wonderful things Lethbridge Polytechnic staff are doing, with opportunities to learn about, experience, and share in the amazing work of colleagues. See you there![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”25256″ img_size=”” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes”][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Call for Proposals” alignment=”left”][/ultimate_heading][vc_column_text css=””]We are looking for people to share their knowledge about a variety of topics related to teaching excellence and wellness.

Blackfoot lands extend north to south from the North Saskatchewan River in Alberta and Saskatchewan to the Yellowstone River in the state of Montana, and east to west from the Great Sand Hills in the province of Saskatchewan to the mountainous Continental Divide. Today, four nations make up Siksikaitsitapi: the Apaitsitapi or Kainai (Blood Tribe), the Aapatohsipiikani or Piikani Nation, the Siksika Nation in southern Alberta, as well as the Ampskaapi’piikani or Blackfeet Tribe in northern Montana. As both the traditional and current Land Keepers of this area, the Blackfoot Nations have welcomed people from other Indigenous territories, including all signatory Nations of Treaty No. 7, members of the Métis Nation of Alberta Region 3, and non-Indigenous people who have come to call the City of Lethbridge home.
It is the intent of our college community to honour the land from a place of connection, Kakyosin, to become fully aware and truly recognize the knowledge encompassed of what it means to say we are on Blackfoot Territory.
