The Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs (AMC) has called on Indigenous Services Canada to provide the necessary funding to support emergency safety upgrades at Lake Manitoba School on Lake Manitoba First Nation. The school is more than 50 years old and has safety issues and challenges such as overcrowding, broken hardware, and doors that are not up to fire code. The school serves 321 children and is set to be closed at the end of June if it does not receive funding to complete the necessary safety upgrades. “Our children deserve more than temporary fixes and political excuses,” stated AMC. “They deserve safety, dignity, and the opportunity to learn in environments that reflect their worth and the promises made under Treaty.”
