Two schools with dedicated spaces for Indigenous education coming to BC

British Columbia will soon sport two new schools with spaces dedicated to Indigenous education. The Government of British Columbia is investing over $33M into the development of a new elementary school in Fernie, which My East Kootenay Now says will have a learning centre with dedicated space for Indigenous education. The school will also feature a kitchen and dedicated community program space. Pitt Meadows will gain a new school thanks to provincial funding of over $143M. The school will include a neighbourhood learning centre with purpose-built space for Indigenous education and an expanded gym, theatre space, and teaching kitchen. At both schools, developers are evaluating whether a new child care facility would be suitable.
