Northland School Division shared its journey and priorities at the 2025 First Nations, Metis and Inuit Education Gathering: Wahkohtown for Student Success hosted by the College of Alberta School Superintendents (CASS) April 30 to May 2 in Edmonton.
The presentation focused on Priority 1 of Northland’s Education Plan; Connections Supporting Reconciliation and how that work is shaping student success, says a Northland news release May 6.
Through strong relationships and ongoing conversations with students, families, Elders, Knowledge Keepers and communities, Northland is committed in supporting reconciliation and helping students succeed.
Supt. Cal Johnson was accompanied by deputy Supt. Scott Meunier, associate Supt. Mark Owens, Krista Veitch, associate Supt. of human resources, and Debbie Mineault, director of First Nations, Metis and Inuit education. Together, they shared how Northland’s education plan was developed by listening during community engagement sessions, gathered comments through What We Heard reports and weaving local and provincial data into a plan that reflects the voices of the Northland communities.
The What We Heard reports are shared with communities to show how their comments are shaping NSD’s work.
