Celebrating National Indigenous Peoples Day | June 21, 2020

Jun. 15, 2020


​​​​​​​​​The CBE is proud to honour National Indigenous Peoples Day by sharing the stories of some of the projects and learning opportunities that took place this spring. This year we have been unable to gather as a community to hold many of our annual events celebrating and recognizing Indigenous culture, traditions and ways of knowing and being. Our schools and communities are committed to learning about the contributions and diverse cultures of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples throughout the year.

For more information on Indigenous education at the CBE,​ please visit our website.

  • The Canoe Project at Ernest Morrow School
    The canoe project was designed as an Indigenous Education initiative to honour traditional knowledge and create authentic interdisciplinary connections.
  • Thomas B. Riley School Mural
    ​Thomas B. Riley School has worked on creating a culturally responsive learning environment for all students. Evidence of this work is seen in the Legacy Mural’s placement in the front hallway.
  • National Indigenous Peoples Day | Grad Video Released
    On June 21, graduating indigenous students will be presented with a video comprised of congratulatory messages from Elders and Knowledge Keepers as well as an honour song gifted to them by Frank and Darcy Turning Robe.
