The women at Harmony House have enough to worry about without adding their children's schooling to the list, especially during the current uncertainty. So the Ottawa women's shelter has set up a makeshift classroom where the kids can be home-schooled together. Harmony House is a transitional shelter where women and their children fleeing domestic violence can find longer-term housing instead of a single room at a traditional shelter. The online learning will take place in this boardroom, which Inglis has decorated to make the kids feel like they're in school. Jade Lickers, a family support worker at Harmony House helped create the new learning pod for the children at the shelter.
