    Poster Challenge

    OJEN’s Grade 5 Poster Challenge is a fun and educational opportunity for Grade 5 students to learn and demonstrate an understanding of the rights of Canadians!  Students get to create posters that express what they value about Canadian democracy and the Charter. Courthouse staff and justice sector professionals will vote on 8 finalist posters from across the province.  Selected posters will be professionally framed and hung in a local courthouse!

    This is a great way for you to teach your students about the Charter and to meet the Grade 5 curriculum expectations – Canada and World Connections – Aspects of Government in Canada.  We welcome both English and French captioned posters.

    OJEN’s Art in the Courts Program

    Regional selected posters will be included in OJEN’s Art and the Courts program – an initiative designed to highlight positive community involvement with our courts. Each year students’ posters are selected and sent to courthouses across the province to make them a more welcoming and friendly place for children and families. As part of this program, selected students have an opportunity to participate in local unveilings and courthouse tours with members of the local bar and judiciary.
