This year was marked by milestones that celebrate Cree language, culture, and educational success across iiyiyiu aschii. From the 3rd Language and Culture Symposium and the return of Cree language to Grade 1 classrooms, to vibrant events like the iinuu metawewinh Games and the Quebec Indigenous Science Fair, the Cree School Board continued to strengthen identity and learning. We also saw progress in teacher recruitment, adult education, and higher learning programs, alongside inspiring youth leadership initiatives. These highlights reflect our commitment to culturally grounded education and the empowerment of every learner.
