The Government of Alberta and Government of British Columbia have each released their 2025 budgets, which include investments into Indigenous learning. AB’s budget includes $4M for the First Nations Colleges Grant—which is distributed across five colleges in rural and remote Indigenous communities—as well as an investment into the construction of 100 new and updated schools across the province, including in regions like Muskiki Lake that serve Indigenous communities. BC’s budget includes capital investments into K-12 and postsecondary schools to support projects such as the construction of the new George Pringle Secondary School, which will include an Indigenous cultural space. It also allots $36M to critical language preservation and revitalization efforts to meet the demand for Indigenous language instruction.
