“This event was a powerful reminder of the strength found in our community. The Board of Trustees is deeply committed to ensuring that Indigenous voices are not just heard, but are foundational to the future direction of our school division,” added Board Chair Chris Andrew.

“True reconciliation and educational excellence begin with listening. The insights shared by our families and Elders last week provide invaluable guidance as we build a meaningful, impactful 3-year strategic plan,” said Superintendent Rhonda Nixon.

“Our goal is to ensure that families and community members feel they are supported, valued, empowered, heard and have a voice at the table. Walking alongside our community to co-create the future of Indigenous Education in RDCRS is an honour,” explained Jonathan Mauro, Indigenous Education Services Coordinator. “RDCRS Indigenous Education Services ensures that we listen to and are guided by our Elders and Indigenous Community when supporting Indigenous Education and our Indigenous students and families.”
