KAWARTHAS-Trillium Lakelands District School Board (TLDSB) says it has received approval from the Ministry of Education to build a large-scale Kindergarten to Grade 12 Outdoor Education and Indigenous Centre.
“By utilizing the area’s natural environment as an enriching learning space, TLDSB is looking forward to providing a new location for learning opportunities and will be seeking support from local Indigenous Knowledge Keepers and Elders,” stated TLDSB director of education, Wes Hahn.
The 90+ acre property, located centrally within the school board in Minden, Ontario, will be home to a 3,000 square-foot facility, which will provide a day program with hands-on, curriculum-linked learning for students from Kindergarten to Grade 12. The facility is scheduled to open to TLDSB students and staff starting spring 2027.
