On August 28, the Black Gold School Divisionʼs Board of Trustees acknowledged their commitment to fostering a deeper understanding and respect for Indigenous cultures by proudly raising the Treaty 6 and Métis Nation flags at the Division Office, and in all its schools.
“The flags symbolize our recognition of the Treaty rights of Indigenous peoples, our shared history, and our acknowledgment of the historic and ongoing impacts of colonization,” said Board Chair Esther Eckert. “It is a meaningful act that reflects the Boardʼs dedication to fostering an inclusive environment for all students, staff, and community members.”
