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.

The Cree School Board today welcomes the news of additional provincial funding to expand education in our communities. This funding represents nearly 17% of the Province of Quebec’s investment in the North. 

Following a successful event walking the distance of Eeyou Istchee communities last year, students at Waapinichikush Elementary School and James Bay Eeyou School in Chisasibi are walking the virtual distance of the entire Quebec Innu territory.

Education forums in communities around Eeyou Istchee this spring have shone a spotlight on the delivery of Cree education to our youth. 

On May 29-30, 2019, Whapmagoostui held its first "Local Education Conference" under the leadership of Community Education Administrator William Kawapit. 

Students from each community in Eeyou Istchee gathered in Mistissini June 7, 2019 to mark the 20th anniversary of Annie Whiskeychan Day in the Cree School Board.
