Indigenous students celebrate
4 minute read 3:00 AM CDTHundreds of Westman students from pre-school to post-secondary gathered to celebrate their educational achievements and their Indigenous heritage at Brandon’s Riverbank Discovery Centre on Wednesday.
The event was a collaboration between Assiniboine Community College, Brandon University and the Brandon School Division, titled “Our Journey, Indigenous Student Graduation Celebration” to “honour students’ successes and their education,” according to BSD communications co-ordinator Terri Curtis.
“We have the little ones in pre-school who are going into kindergarten, our Grade 8s going into Grade 9, and then we have our 12s going into post-secondary and finally, our post-secondary students heading into career aspirations,” Curtis said.
Kris Desjarlais, ACC’s director of Indigenous education, said each school honours Indigenous students in their own ways, but it made sense to join forces.
