From classrooms to virtual spaces, teachers are making a difference in the lives of students everywhere. Thank you for your hard work, dedication, and passion for helping us learn and grow. Let’s show some love to the teachers who’ve impacted our lives! In the spirit of supporting our educators and students, we’re also highlighting the important work being done by the First Nations Life Long Learning Table (FNLLT). During the 2023 Fall Chiefs Assembly, First Nation Leadership in Ontario accepted the Systemic Gaps Project Student Outcomes and Systemic Gaps Project Suspensions reports, providing crucial evidence of the chronic systemic gaps faced by First Nation students in both First Nation and provincially-funded schools. These reports mark the first steps in addressing these issues and ensuring a brighter future for our students.

Tim Maracle wants his family and his community to Tim Maracle wants his family and his community to have the same opportunities he's had. Maracle, a high-structural iron worker by trade, sees the work he does as a means to uplift those through economic empowerment. And it appears to be working. When he started his business, he had just four employees. Now he has 16, with big contracts coming in. But he's not done yet. That's why he signed up for the Ontario First Nations Business Directory. "I'm at the point where I have a lot of opportunities and want to grow and see what I can become," he says. "I did sign up for the directory in the hopes that this is going to make me grow as a small business, so that one day I can look back on this and say, 'That's where I started.'" You can learn more about the directory, or sign up for yourself, on the Chiefs of Ontario website: https://chiefs-of-ontario.org/priorities/economic/ofnbd-listing/

*The National Indian Residential School Crisis Lin *The National Indian Residential School Crisis Line provides 24-hour crisis support to former Indian Residential School students and their families toll-free at 1-866-925-4419. “The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a stark reminder of what First Nations children endured at residential schools. These institutions caused unimaginable harm to entire generations of First Nations people that can still be felt today. It is a reality with lasting intergenerational impacts that must never be forgotten. Though these ‘schools’ shaped the trajectory of First Nations across Canada, today is also a time to recognize and honour the incredible strength of the survivors and their families. Despite widespread, systematic attempts to erase entire cultures, languages and traditions, these ‘schools’ sought to ‘kill the Indian in the child,’ yet they thrive today. Our unique Nations and cultures exist today because survivors of the residential school system fought to keep them alive—often in the face of serious personal harm. They passed on the traditions, languages and teachings these institutions sought to destroy so that all of us today know who we are, where we come from and how we got here. Their resilience is a testament to the spirit of our people who have fought—and continue to fight—to heal and restore our communities. Reconciliation is an ongoing process. It demands more than words; it requires meaningful action from governments, organizations and society at large. We must listen to and uplift First Nations’ voices, so that our true history is known and understood by all Canadians.” Read the full statement here: https://chiefs-of-ontario.org/ontario-regional-chief-abram-benedict-releases-a-statement-on-the-national-day-for-truth-and-reconciliation/ #EveryChildMatters #NDTR2024 #OrangeShirtDay
