The Indigenous Education Committee advises on strategies and initiatives to recruit, retain, and support Indigenous teachers. This committee recommends strategies that better support Indigenous learners in classrooms throughout the district. A priority of the committee is to advance the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. The Indigenous Education Committee meets 4 times a year. During their meetings they discuss Professional Development events, review/approve BCTF Aboriginal Initiative grant, support Indigenous teachers, as well as ways to enhance the opportunities for improving Indigenous education. We aspire to create a more inclusive and responsive educational environment that honours and respects Indigenous histories and perspectives.
