Nearly 3,000 people, including 1,800 students largely from northern Ontario, are taking lessons from it – and the program could soon expand to hundreds of students in southern Ontario
Mike Parkhill remembers receiving a call from a community leader in a northern Ontario First Nation about three years ago asking if he had a tool that might help students learn Ojibwe.
"It makes it really easy to get up in the morning, and you know you're ... making a difference on people's lives." Currently, 320 students and 26 board staff and teachers have access to the tool. Another 230 students could use the tool if the program is greenlit for board-wide use this month, Johnston said, with that number possibly rising in the future to up to 2,000 students, including 650 who identify as Indigenous.
Chloe Belisle, a Grade 8 student in Nipigon, Ont., said she has been using the program to learn Ojibwe since last year.
