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.

See our latest update (October 7, 2021) about our Revised First Nations Schools Reopening Considerations and Template, reflecting the most current public health mask guidance.  Find more resources on our COVID news page.
