The province has introduced its new and expanded requirement of learning about the Holocaust in the compulsory grade 10 history course.
In a release, Education Minister Stephen Lecce says by introducing new mandatory learning in Holocaust education in elementary and secondary schools they are ensuring students are never bystanders in the face of hate and division.
The province is also investing $650,000 in community partnerships to provide resources for students and educator training to expand learning on fundamental Canadian values such as the importance of safeguarding democracy from extreme and harmful ideologies.
