The N’Swakamok Indigenous Friendship Centre—which operates the N’Swakamok Anishnawbek Kinomaadwin Gamig N’Swakamok Alternative School—and the Rainbow District School Board have renewed their partnership with the signing of a memorandum of understanding. At the alternative school, Indigenous students receive individual support from teachers, as well as small and large group instruction that incorporates cultural content and traditional ways of teaching. Through this MOU, the students have access to Indigenous support services, pathways to completing their secondary school diploma, and connections to career and postsecondary learning opportunities. “This memorandum of understanding reaffirms our shared commitment to Indigenous learners,” said RDSB Director of Education Bruce Bourget.
