The Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board (NPSC) recently shared its approved balanced operating budget for the 2026–27 school year, which includes new investments in Indigenous education. In particular, the school board has announced that it will continue to have Indigenous Graduation Coaches for Grades 7–12 and an elementary Special Assignment Teacher in Indigenous education who will support the integration of Indigenous perspectives and culture throughout the curriculum. The school board has also partnered with Canadore College’s Kikandaaswiwin Mookiisin program to create dual credit opportunities for secondary students and expand access to culturally rooted experiential learning opportunities with ceremony, Elders, language, and Indigenous mentors.
