Complete your Wake the Giant training module by 3:00 p.m. on Friday, September 8 for a chance to win two tickets to the Wake the Giant Music Festival on September 16.

Wake the Giant is a cultural awareness project aimed at creating a more welcoming and inclusive city for Indigenous Peoples, youth, and their communities. The project includes an annual music festival that welcomes students to Thunder Bay at the start of the school year in September, as well as a decal program in which organizations and businesses display a Wake the Giant decal to indicate that they are a welcoming and safe space for Indigenous youth.

The Wake the Giant Indigenous Culture and Inclusivity Training was launched earlier this year, providing an online learning experience to support businesses, companies and organizations in creating more inclusive spaces, free of racism, where Indigenous People are welcome. This training is intended to present the realities of First Nations students having to leave their home community to attend high school in Thunder Bay and was developed in direct response to the recommendations in the Seven Youth Inquest.

The training module is available through Dual Code LMS.

There will be two draws with a total of four tickets to be won. Draw will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, September 8.

All staff who have completed the training module will be included in the draw, including staff who were entered in the previous draw in June.
