Delegates at the Cree Nation Government’s Summit on Building Capacity for Eeyou Istchee heard a message loud and clear: collaboration and education are key to our success as a Nation. From Grand Chief Abel Bosum's opening and closing mantra - "If there are no big dreams, there are no accomplishments," to the Cree School Board's call to collaborative action, to Youth Grand Chief Kaitlynn Hester's moving remarks - "We want you to move, to act - we want you to walk the talk" - the atmosphere at the Sheraton Centre in Montreal on October 23 and 24, 2019 was filled with hope, dedication, and collaboration.

"I just wish people would realize that anything's possible if you try." Students took those words from Terry Fox to heart, and raised more than $11,000 in this year's runs and walks around their communities.  

Students, teachers, administrators, and support staff in schools and offices around Eeyou Istchee marked Orange Shirt Day September 30, 2019 with activities to involve all ages.

"Opening the door to endless possibilities." That was the call to action that began the second Higher Education Roundtable in Chisasibi on September 30, 2019.

On Friday, August 23, 2019, the Cree Nation lost an enthusiastic advocate for students, a dedicated family man, a steadfast practitioner of Cree culture and values, and a devoted friend to many. 

The Cree School Board is happy to announce the commissioners for Nemaska, Chisasibi and Oujé-Bougoumou.

Thirty-five new teachers are arriving in their communities with a deeper understanding of Cree culture and the Cree School Board after attending the inaugural Teacher Orientation event this month in Ouje-Bougoumou.

More than 84 Cree School Board students will graduate in ceremonies planned for August and September, a significant increase over recent years. 

At a ceremony, June 22, 2019, in Pikogan First Nation, McGill University and Cree School Board (CSB) dignitaries awarded 57 Cree students from Eeyou Istchee with certificates.  Eleven students earned their Certificate in Cree Literacy and another 46 earned their Culture and Language Certificate.
