Did you know there is an easier way to track your child’s progress in school?
The Cree School Board has launched the Mozaïk Portal for Parents online since December 2021.

About Nemaska
The name Nemaska means "Place to fish." With a population of almost 1,000 people, Nemaska is nestled on the shore of Lake Champlain. Like some other Cree communities in the territory, Nemaska was not always located where it is today. In 1970, the people of Old Nemaska relocated to the current site to avoid being flooded by the rerouting of waterways for hydro-electric developments.
