Impact of Secret Path

DWF has used Secret Path and Chanie Wenjack’s story as a starting point to help support teachers in ensuring the next generation of Canadians learn not only the true history of residential schools, but the richness, strength, and diversity of Indigenous cultures. From there, together, we have created meaningful opportunities to participate in reconciliation through education, programs, campaigns, and events that bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples together.

Our collective impact includes:

• This year, 10,300 educators from 7,400+ schools all over Canada are receiving free educational tools and resources that support teaching about Indigenous histories, perspectives, and rights
• 258,000 students annually, from early learning to post-secondary, accessing reconciliation-focused resources, including Secret Path multimedia
• 2.4 million reconciliACTIONs taken to date
