Cree and Ojibwe Bilingual Program


The Winnipeg School Division is proud to initiate bilingual Cree language and Ojibwe language programs exclusively at Isaac Brock School.

The Winnipeg School Division is proud to initiate bilingual Cree language and Ojibwe language programs exclusively at Isaac Brock School.
The 2016 school year welcomed students in Kindergarten, while the 2018-19 school year will have program entry points​ in Kindergarten​ to Grade 2.
The Cree and Ojibwe Programs will center around ancestral teachings of the Grandmother Moon and the thirteen moons she carries. The programs have a land-based component as this is an important part of language learning. Culturally, there is a strong connection to the land and all the life it encompasses. In the ​Kindergarten Program, students will be fully immersed in the Cree or Ojibwe language. The Grade 1 and 2 program will be bilingual with 50% of instruction in Cree or Ojibwe and 50% in English.

Please note: The quality of the audio and video in each interview on NCCIE.CA may vary. NCCIE has been a capacity- and skills-building project for students and youth. They have been "learning-through-doing," learning how to arrange and conduct interviews while, at the same time, gaining experience with the technology.
