Insights

Comments from the FNEAA Community

Director of Education – Membertou, NS

“We want to provide the tools for educators to have the confidence to do what they want to do.”

“We can network and share experiences to provide living paths for people to get where they need to go. The goal is to provide a choice as opposed to telling educators what to do.”

Simon Bird

Director of Education – Lac La Ronge Indian Band, SK

“A lot of our schools are in ‘survival mode’. We need to stop jumping from crisis to crisis.”
