The province unveiled its list of 2023-24 Teachers’ Idea Fund beneficiaries on Monday, with projects from the Park West School Division and Mountain View School Division both getting a portion of the $5 million in new funding.
Out of the 50 single- and multi-year projects outlined in this year’s list, nine can be found in Park West and Mountain View at the elementary and high school level.
Most of these initiatives aim to emphasize Indigenous learning in the classroom and improve the overall mental well-being of students.
