CTRL-F  September 23, 2025  4:30 – 6:00 PM
This session is presented by an expert from CIVIX Canada. 

CTRL-F is a digital media literacy program developed to help students identify false and misleading information online and locate credible sources. Named for the keyboard shortcut for ‘find,’ CTRL-F teaches quick, evidence-based strategies for evaluating the reliability of sources and claims. The tips and strategies shared with teachers in this session can be seamlessly implemented to develop the critical thinking skills required for students to analyze and synthesize information.

Student Budget Consultation • 4:30–6:00 pm

Student Budget Consultation October 22, 2025  4:30 – 6:00 PM
This session is presented by an expert from CIVIX Canada.  

Student Budget Consultation is a unique program that combines civic education and financial literacy. Students learn about the process of budgeting, examine the government’s revenues and expenditures, and explore current issues facing the country and different political perspectives. In the culminating task, youth offer their own opinions on the priorities of the upcoming federal budget. Their input is shared with the Department of Finance and all federal political parties. This is a powerful opportunity to amplify student voice and cultivate engagement.

PoliTalks • 4:30–6:00 pm

PoliTalks November 19, 2025  4:30 – 6:00 PM
This session is presented by an expert from CIVIX Canada.  

CIVIX’s newest program, PoliTalks, aims to cultivate the knowledge, attitudes, and skills to participate constructively in political discussions. The activities help students practice active listening, perspective-taking, and respectful self-expression skills, and build relevant contextual awareness. The strategies explored in this session can be applied outside of the political realm and used to manage discussions around any topic.
