Abstract
The project aims to develop quality, creative and applied virtual life skills programming that will enhance the lives of marginalized populations in Halton Region and its surrounding areas. The life skills programming will be a comprehensive, lived-experience and EDI-informed program that includes several key topics and associated interactive applications that will allow the learner to practice the essential life skills being taught in a virtual setting to prevent homelessness. The result of this project will be a virtual Learning Management System (LMS) shared across the Halton Region and beyond.
