A district wide day of learning committed to our own journeys to decolonization and Truth & Reconciliation. An honour to plan, and support this amazing work. Thank you @LenPierre2 @ThorKeith Siy:am Lara Mussell, Weli’leq, Lenexwi:ot and Mark Point for guiding our continued work

So honoured to receive this quilted blanket today. A beautiful incorporation of Métis-Cree artist Karen Erickson and a personal passion from a staff member’s parent. @ChilliwackSD33 #Reconciliation #everychildmatters

Whenever I sat down with my grandpa and asked about our people, his first answer was inevitably “it’s always the land question granddaughter.” Looking forward to hearing more from Kanienʼkehá꞉ka writer, scholar and resurgence warrior on decolonization. @TaiaiakeAlfred

Grateful to have been a part of some powerful conversations on Indigenous Research Jurisdiction. Strong matriarchs across disciplines voicing and asserting what really matters when it comes to researching with, and within Indigenous Communities. #rematriation #indigenousmatriarch

A phenomenal week of learning at the @BCPVPA Foundations for New School Leaders conference. Grounded in decolonizing leadership. The networking was endless, and the learning was priceless. 10/10 would recommend. @mcarolynroberts @bmooreintheloop @ChilliwackSD33 @bcedplan

A cultural night FILLED TO THE TOP with re-connection and new relationships ❤️ so grateful to the Guiterrez family for sharing their hearts and spirit with us at Central @ChilliwackSD33 #sd33learns

I wish I could take this course 😭

Always a pleasure learning, and building understanding with @sarafdavidson If you're looking to bring Indigenous expertise into your class through story, these are a must look! Waiting patiently for the educator guide 😌🥰
