📣 Fishing Lake Métis Settlement Community Engagement

🏫 Exploring opportunities for Fishing Lake students to attend Grades 7–12 closer to home!

Northland School Division invites Fishing Lake Métis Settlement families and community members to an upcoming community engagement session.
One idea we're exploring is expanding Elizabeth School to provide regional Grades 7–12 programming for students from both Fishing Lake and Elizabeth Métis Settlements.

The concept could also offer hands-on trades education and learning opportunities that reflect Métis culture, traditions and land-based learning.

💬 We want to hear from you! Join us to learn more about this idea, ask questions and share your thoughts.

📅 Date: Wednesday, November 4, 2026
🕠 Time: 5:30–7:30 p.m.
📍 Location: The Communiplex – Fishing Lake
🍽️ A meal will be provided.
🎁 Attend for a chance to win a prize!

Northland School Division is pleased to announce the appointment of Olivia Broad as Cree Syllabics Coordinator.

"Hello, I'm Olivia from Driftpile Cree Nation. I'm an off-reserve member living in Slave Lake, Alberta."

💬 "I'm grateful for this opportunity and I'm looking forward to seeing what this role will bring to our schools and communities," said Olivia.

🎓 Olivia earned a Bachelor of Arts in nehiyawewin (Cree language) from University nuhelot’įne thaiyots’į nistameyimâkanak Blue Quills. Through her studies and participation in ceremonies in her home community, she has developed a strong interest in Cree syllabics and morphology, the study of how words are formed.
