NOVEMBER 29, 2021 -- On November 1st, the Grade 8 class at Harbour Landing School taught by Danielle Stinson and Brianne McFetridge had an exciting return to field trips with a visit to the Legislative Building of Saskatchewan.

The trip to the Legislative Building included a tour of the building where they learned about the history and about some of the major political figures of Saskatchewan. Following the tour, the Grade 8 students were invited to the public gallery in the legislative chamber to watch Question Period. Question Period is always interesting to watch and this time was no exception!

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 -- The “Speaker Series: Growing up Indigenous and Getting an Education” is about bringing Indigenous professionals into Albert Community School via Zoom to talk to students. These Indigenous professionals are in various careers that required some type of post-secondary education.

The goal of the Speaker Series is for students to meet other Indigenous people who are on their own personal educational journey. The speakers have had challenges navigating the education system; yet through it all, they have succeeded. The speakers have “made it” and now can be identified as having “earned privilege” by Western World standards.
