A full-time individual is needed to serve as a First Nations, Métis and Inuit Support Worker to start for the school year.

All First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) students in Alberta deserve to meet or exceed the educational outcomes set for all Alberta students.

Building strong relationships with and between schools and school authorities; First Nations and First Nation organizations; the Metis Settlements General Council; the Métis Nation of Alberta; Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada; and other ministries; to support the success of First Nations, Métis and Inuit students.
Foundational to this work will be the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the Calls to Action.
