School Planning and COVID-19

For First Nations that are planning to reopen their schools, FNESC and FNSA have developed resources to support BC First Nations in planning to deliver in-person instruction during the 2021/2022 school year. These resources are intended to reflect the updated guidance documents and the unique context of First Nations schools and communities in British Columbia.
