Schitt’s Creek star and co-creator Daniel Levy is taking a free University of Alberta course called Indigenous Canada – and he wants others to join him.
The Toronto-raised actor, writer and showrunner promoted the online course in a video on his social media.
Come learn with me? I’ve signed up for a (free) course through the University of Alberta called Indigenous Canada. 12 lessons that explore Indigenous histories and contemporary issues from an Indigenous perspective.
