Recognizing local Honouring Spirit Indigenous Student Award nominees

On Monday evening, we joined the Indigenous Education Services Team as they celebrated the local 2025 Honouring Spirit: Indigenous Student Award nominees with a reception. 

Also on hand was Elder Darryl Lickers, who has built a close bond with a number of the students over the past few years, as well as principals, teachers, and families plus Acting Superintendent of Schools, Ryan Ledene, and Associate Superintendent of Curriculum and Inclusion, Ryan Sawula.

These awards, an initiative of the Alberta School Boards Association, celebrate the unique qualities of students "who inspire their peers, teachers, education leaders and community members while celebrating the ways of their people. Each student embraces their own gifts, strengths and potential, respecting the agency of other students to do the same in their own ways."

Congratulations to all of this year's nominees.
