On June 4, 2025, the Public School Boards Association of Alberta (PSBAA) honored Northland School Division (NSD) with a special award at their Spring General Assembly in Calgary.
This recognition celebrates NSD’s commitment to advancing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action, particularly numbers 10, 14, 62, 63, and 64.
NSD’s initiatives include land-based learning, Indigenous language instruction, collaboration with Elders, and cultural events, all detailed in their 2024-2027 Education Plan.
Board Chair Tanya Fayant expressed gratitude, emphasizing the collective effort of families, Elders, and staff in supporting students.
