Background
on the Symposium
In 2005, Terry Clarke, Education Director of Onion Lake, Saskatchewan
got together with his colleagues to discuss the idea of having
a Western Canada First Nations Education Symposium. They brought
together Principals, Administrators, Education Directors and
other leaders in First Nations education from First Nations
Schools in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to come together
to share ideas, network and build capacity with one another.
Approximately 65 delegates attended the two day event.
The 2nd
Western Canada First Nations Education Administrator's Symposium
was held at the Fantasyland Hotel in Edmonton, Alberta from
February 9 - 11, 2006. This event was hosted by the MIYO Wahkohtowin
Community Education, Treaty 7 area. In addition to the Education
Symposium, they added one day for an Aboriginal Language Symposium.
Over 135 delegates, including Aboriginal Language Teachers,
Principals, Education Directors, and other leaders in Aboriginal
languages and Education, attended this three day symposium.
First
Nations Training & Consulting Services was invited to
bid on hosting the 3rd Western Canada First Nations Education
Administrator's Symposium. Edith Loring-Kuhanga, President
submitted a bid to MIYO Education at the end of January 2006
and attended the Education Symposium in February 2006 to discuss
her bid. Edith was honoured to be selected to organize the
3rd Symposium.
This year,
the symposium is open to First Nations Schools as well as
Educators, Principals, and Directors of Aboriginal Education
from the public schools. In addition, the Symposium will also
be featuring the Aboriginal Language Symposium and the Education
Symposium. This year, we are expecting 200 delegates from
BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Yukon. Plan on
attending this timely and worthwhile event.
