3. Exploring Resources

To begin exploring resources, click on any resource tile on the Dashboard and use the search bar and filters to refine your search results.

Tip!

If you want to narrow down your search, you can use the following tiles:

“Secret Path” includes resources that DWF and educators like you have created for Secret Path.
“Legacy Schools Toolkit” includes the digital version of DWF’s Legacy Schools toolkit.
“Virtual Legacy Space” leads you to an online space to learn about Canada’s true history and ways to move reconciliation forward.
“Friends of DWF” includes links to resources by organizations we’ve partnered with.
“Collections” includes curated collections of resources about specific topics.
“All Resources” has every resource that’s been uploaded to The HUB.

4. Understanding Resource Cards

Each resource has a card that opens to reveal more information about the resource and at least one link to access it. You can also learn more about the type of resource, grade level, regions, languages, subjects, and months.

When you’re ready to access a resource, click the English Link or French Link, and The HUB will direct you to it!
