Last week it was announced that the Saskatchewan Rivers School Division (SRPSD) and Prince Albert Catholic School Division will be joining the Métis Nation–Saskatchewan (MNS) in preserving and revitalizing Michif language and culture.
Both divisions will be joining the Michif Early Learning Pilot Project (MELPP) starting in the fall of 2021.
Sask Rivers Superintendent Jennifer Hingley explained that the partnership came together because of the MN-S.
“It’s their initiative and we feel privileged to be included and brought on board,” Hingley said.
Catholic Division director of education Lorel Trumier was excited to see partnerships with the MN-S grow in the division including the recent donation of 204 Chromebooks.
