Building Communities through Local Government

the project

We developed Building Communities through Local Government for Alberta Municipal Affairs. The topic of municipal government is a natural place for students to investigate how issues, challenges and decisions are dealt with in communities. The Building Communities Through Local Government resource provides teachers support to create opportunities for their students to explore municipal government in the context of their own and other communities. We worked with Critical Fusion to develop two interactive whiteboard applications.
