Good morning,

This summer, UBC is holding the *Historical Thinking Project summer 
institute* in

*/Halifax/* <http://pdce.educ.ubc.ca/htp2013-halifax>*//*/from**July 
8-13/and in*/ Toronto/*///from July 15-20/.

The program is open to applicants from */across Canada and 
internationally/*, and provides an immersion experience for:

§*history curriculum leaders,*

§*history teachers, *and

§*educators in history museums and historic sites.*

Since this program may be of interest to members of the *BC Museums 
Association*, I’m writing to ask if would kindly distribute the message 
below via listserv.

The six historical thinking concepts, which have been integrated into a 
number of curriculum documents and classroom resources across the 
country, will provide the methodological core of the program.

If you have any additional suggestions around how we may announce this 
program in your area, please let me know. Your support in promoting this 
program is greatly appreciated!

Many thanks,
Jenny
