DECEMBER 17, 2021 -- Russell Fayant was December’s guest speaker at Albert Community School. Russell is a faculty member with the Saskatchewan Urban Native Teacher Education Program (SUNTEP), and he is based out of the University of Regina campus. Russell is Métis and from the Qu’Appelle Valley in Saskatchewan. He is a Michif speaker and says he is still learning his language.

Russell began his presentation at Albert School with a jovial hello to everyone and then started to introduce himself in his Michif language. Once he finished his introduction in Michif, he explained to everyone what he said and what it meant to him to be able to speak his language. Russell is not fluent in Michif but is continually learning from other speakers.

DECEMBER 15, 2021 -- As the snow has fallen to the ground, so comes the season of storytelling in Indigenous culture.

Students at Judge Bryant School have hung on every word that has come from Elder Hazel Dixon. After one class watched several of Elder Hazel’s storytelling videos from the Royal Saskatchewan Museum website, one impressed young learner exclaimed to her, “I didn’t know you were a YouTuber!”

Staff at Judge Bryant are so grateful for the wisdom that Elder Hazel shares with everyone at the school.

This year, CUPE 3766 is helping out where they can. The union (which represents Special Education Assistants, Teacher Associates and Elementary School Administrative Assistants) made the decision to give over $11,000 to chosen Regina Public schools to purchase food hampers for families in need. This money came from over 600 members who paid union dues intended for their annual Christmas party.

Chef Jenni Lessard, owner of Inspired by Nature Culinary Consultant and member of the Indigenous Culinary of Associated Nations, worked alongside the students, sharing her recipes. Chef Jenni and the students harvested rosehips for the rosehip lime butter to go with her grandmother’s baked bannock recipe. The bannock was served with a bison stew with bison donated from Canadian Bison and a three sister spice cookie for dessert.
