School District and First Nations Elected Leaders Gathering

The first Elected Leaders Gathering of Board of Education and Chiefs and Councils was held on February 4, 2026. This was an event of historic significance. Board of Education Trustees and Chiefs and Councils enjoyed a meal together and listened to one another. It was the start of sharing of concerns and hopes related to the students we all support.
There was commitment to continuing with this structure as another important opportunity to work together at the governance level, alongside other venues like Indigenous Education Council and Local Education Agreement where the nations have ownership.
More detailed information will be shared with the leaders in the weeks ahead about all that is already happening to inform dialogue about what is next. Another gathering is planned for May to continue the conversation.
