Are your students interested in creating a virtual tour about their Indigenous community and/or school? We’d love to learn about where you are from… and who better to be our guide than you?

Walk With Us (WWU) is a digital storytelling and mapping project created by Melissa Lavoie based in the city of Timmins in northeastern Ontario. Together we are working to provide educators and students in Indigenous communities with a powerful means of producing their own virtual tours, with their own content and curriculum in mind.

Walk With Us and share your hometown stories here…
