Northland School Division

Northland School Division stands with the communities we serve to honour both the Survivors of residential schools and those who are no longer with us on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Orange Shirt Day is inspired by Phyllis Webstad’s story about her experience in a residential school. Her story, like many others, shows the strength of Indigenous people. On this day, we reflect on the lasting impact of residential schools and how they continue to affect every Indigenous person.

At Northland School Division, we are deeply committed to supporting the communities we serve as they reclaim their cultures, languages and land relationships. This commitment is reflected in our number one priority: Connections Supporting Truth and Reconciliation. Each year, we will work to strengthen traditional and cultural connections to the land, Indigenous languages, school communities, and partnerships. This work is essential in building stronger, healthier communities and families.

Northland School Division’s goal is to create a learning environment where every child feels respected, valued, and loved. Northland schools are the heart of many communities, and we will always remember that every child matters.
