Apr 16, 2025

Schools in the Chinook’s Edge School Division (CESD) are beginning to see the results of an Indigenous residency program that began this year.

The opportunity created five in-school residencies in an effort to work towards truth and reconciliation, and CESD hopes to budget for the same number in 2025-26.

This year’s residencies are:

• Penhold Crossing: Art residency
• Hugh Sutherland School (Carstairs): Métis residency
• John Wilson Elementary School (Innisfail): Seasonal Indigenous learning
• Penhold Elementary School: Elder in residence
• Sylvan Lake schools and Poplar Ridge School: Art residencies
