Researchers and educators are getting together today for the Manitoba Education Research Network North Forum.

Held in Thompson for the first time, Dean of Education for UCN, David Williamson, tells us about the event: "It’s a consortium between 4 deans of education, our partners in the school division, so we have representatives of the Manitoba association of school superintendents, and school trustees. We run a schedule where we do seminars and presentations, so it’s a chance to showcase what’s happening in education in northern Manitoba".

Williamson says educators will explore topics like land based education and how curriculums are being developed in the North.
