Happy Friday! I had the privilege to join Minister Beare and a number of ECC staff this week \u00a0on building relationships and continuing dialogue with First Nations related to child care and K-12, as part of the BC Cabinet and First Nations Leadership Gathering, held in Vancouver Jan 21 and 22. Minister Beare, myself, Associate Deputy Minister Jennifer McCrea, Assistant Deputy Minister Patti Boyle, Executive Lead Emily Arthur, Superintendent of Indigenous Education Brad Baker, Associate Superintendent of Indigenous Education Leona Prince and additional ECC staff met with 42 First Nations, to discuss their unique needs and ideas around both child care and school-aged learning. Brad and Leona may be following up with you about items discussed in some of those meetings over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
