Funding For Sask. Schools To Advance Truth And Reconciliation

Saskatchewan is providing approximately 140-thousand dollars, to advance truth and reconciliation education at schools across the province. Each of the 27 school divisions, along with one partnership school and one qualified independent school will receive grants of up to five-thousand dollars to plan and carry out actions in support of reconciliation throughout the remainder of the 2021-22 school year. The Good Spirit, Christ the Teacher, Horizon and Prairie Valley School Divisions will each receive five-thousand dollars to team up with six local First Nations, to create an Indigenous Advisory Council, to develop ways to honour Indigenous people and culture at its schools. School divisions were encouraged to apply for the one-time grants through the program launched on Orange Shirt Day.
