Deputy Minister of Education and Child Care
Hi, everyone – this week is a short one with tomorrow being Remembrance Day. It’s an opportunity to take a moment of silence to remember and honour the sacrifices of people who served, and continue to serve, our country. I also want to acknowledge that November 8 was National Indigenous Veterans Day, commemorating the sacrifices and contributions made by First Nations, Inuit, and Métis veterans in service to Canada.
A few updates for you this week on the BC Training and Education Savings Program Grant, as well as links to French Language support materials for the Indigenous-Focused graduation requirement. Have a great weekend!
