Educational Outreach
Approximately 10,000 students come to the museum every year on field trips. Teachers, students and non-students alike also visit the museum's online exhibitions: On Canadian Ground: Stories of Footwear in Early Canada and All About Shoes, which latter features artifacts and information from some of the Museum's most popular exhibitions. All About Shoes also provides teachers' resources with classroom activities and projects. The best entries in the International Shoe Design Competition (2007), co-organized by the museum and International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI), are also viewable online.
