The District provides educational services to a diverse multicultural population of 16,638 students, 20 percent of which are of Indigenous ancestry. The Indigenous student population in the District continues to increase. |
CULTURAL TRADITIONS AND PROTOCOLS Acknowledging the territory is performed at any important function such as a school assembly, awards night, graduation, a celebration including Indigenous communities, etc. It may also be performed prior to an important meeting or presentation. Acknowledging the territory is a way of honouring and showing respect for a group of people who have been living and working on this land from time immemorial. A “Welcome” to the territory is only offered by the First Nations people who are traditionally from the territory. Visitors, including everyone who is not a member of the traditional First Nation, would “acknowledge” the territory. |
