In my next post I will introduce something: Ms O'hanley, our teacher, has written an explanation of the civix project

we did in 2012, and it is still how the project works today

Mrs O'hanley's participating classes  explored the breakdown of the revenues and expenditures for  the federal government and learn about the budgeting process, 

from pipelines to taxes and innovation to environment.  The purpose is to educate and engage students in a dialogue about the biggest issues facing the country.

To help  bring these issues into the classroom we were provided with up-to-date resources activities and exclusive video content including the one by the Minister of finance., as well as an issue panel of political insiders and representatives from all federal political parties.

Following the learning and dialogue students took part in an online consultation. Participant responses were analyzed and compiled into a report which was presented to the Minister of finance and the House of the Commons standing committee on finance.
