The federal government announced last week that it is entering into a partnership and providing funding to construct or renovate schools on four northern Manitoba First Nations.
Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minister Bernard Valcourt said the partnership with Bunibonibee Cree Nation (Oxford House), God’s Lake First Nation (Gods Lake Narrows), Manto Sipi Cree Nation (Gods River) and Wasagamack First Nation (Wasagamack) is a step toward long-term economic growth and prosperity for their members.
“This partnership is a clear demonstration of that commitment and to helping to provide First Nation students with an environment where they can learn and acquire the skills needed to enter the labour market and be full participants in a strong Canadian economy,”
Valcourt said in a press release.
