The Indigenous Education Office at the Ontario Ministry of Education aims to support provincially funded school boards and authorities in the implementation of the FNMI Education Policy Framework.
The First Nation, Métis, and Inuit (FNMI) Education Policy Framework hopes to ensure:
- students are successful in their elementary school experience;
- this education leads to a position in the workforce or post-secondary; and,
- that all students establish an appreciation for Indigenous values and culture.

Operating on 420 acres of ecological reserve space in Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish, BC) territory, Cheakamus Centre is an environmental education facility that provides experiential outdoor and land-based education programs to Grades 3-12 students from across the Sea-to-Sky, Metro Vancouver and Southern British Columbia regions. Established in 1969, originally as the North Vancouver Outdoor School, the Centre is owned by the North Vancouver School District, and as such, ties programming to the BC curriculum. Cheakamus Centre offers a variety of Indigenous Cultural Programs that are designed to “share the beauty, depth and vibrancy of Skwxwú7mesh First Nation culture in fun, interactive and engaging ways.” Programs include both one day, and overnight programming. Most notably, the Centre’s ‘Skw’une-was’ program is a provincially recognized 2 day program for Grade 3 students which immerses learners in traditional Skwxwú7mesh culture and provides cultural teaching experiences in connection with natural spaces. All programs are designed and delivered in conjunction with themes of ‘Seasonality,’ ‘Respect,’ and ‘Sharing’ in mind, as well as the First People’s Principles of Learning.

Le Conseil atikamekw de Manawan, par le projet Matcekiw a comme mission le renforcement de trois domaines prioritaires aux yeux de la communauté soit 1) la prévention et la sensibilisation, 2) la promotion et 3) l’intervention. Matcekiw, « développement de l’enfance dans ses forces » désire favoriser l’épanouissement des jeunes et leurs pouvoir d’agir. Pour atteindre cet objectif il semble inévitable que Matcekiw doit mettre en place des stratégies complémentaires au plan de la réussite scolaire. Matcekiw offre ainsi divers ateliers aux enfants de 0 à 4 ans et leurs familles et aux jeunes de 12 à 20 ans permettant à ceux-ci d’acquérir des outils pour faire face à leurs difficultés et développer une attitude positive envers l’école et leur avenir. Matcekiw propose plus d’une dizaine d’activités et d’ateliers rejoignant environ 200 jeunes et parents abordant entre autres l’entrée à l’école, la sensibilisation à la persévérance scolaire et les activités parascolaires (CTREQ : 2013). Ces événements sont plus précisément orientés vers deux volets soit 1) la préparation aux examens et le passage au secondaire destinés aux jeunes de 5e et de 6e année du primaire et 2) des soirées d’informations sur le développement de l’enfant et l’importance de l’encadrement dès le plus jeune âge (PSJA :2017).
