After a year of negotiations, the Lheidli T’enneh and School District 57 have signed a Local Education Agreement
The five-year document is said to meet academic and cultural needs of Aboriginal students
“We put our students on a pedestal so that our students don’t fall through the cracks, and then hopefully that won’t happen.”
