The Woitas Centre for Inclusive Education

St. Mary’s University is pleased to announced the Woitas Centre for Inclusive Education, a transformative initiative that will establish St. Mary’s as the leading hub for Inclusive Education programs — the first of its kind in Western Canada.

Thanks to the generosity of Clayton and Linda Woitas who have provided the single largest donation to inclusive education in Canadian history. The number of students with complex needs — like autism, cognitive disabilities and mental health challenges — continues to grow, advancing inclusive education programs will help establish an environment where each learner can thrive. This pioneering Centre will empower pre-service and in-service teachers to advance inclusive practices across Calgary and Alberta’s school boards, creating an immediate and lasting impact for thousands of K-12 students.
