Program Update

For All First Nations Schools That Offer K4 – Grade 3:

We regret to report that the federal funding program that previously sponsored the Early Literacy Summer Learning Program Grants no longer exists. Therefore, we unfortunately will not be able to provide summer learning grants this year.

We were very pleased to support this initiative for the past several years, and we would like to congratulate all of the participating communities and schools for their excellent work on behalf of their young learners.

Thank you for your attention to this notice.
