Recognition Statement by Chair John Ryan: The New Frontiers School Board provides services on the unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (meaning: People of the Flint). In the auditorium of Howard S. Billings High School less than a week ago, we had the privilege of being helped by our Indigenous Advisor to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. Apart from the powerful messages about the residential school system in this country, we learned that one of the most important ways to promote healing would be to grow the Kanien’kéha (the language of the People of the Flint). We pledge to continue supporting this goal at the New Frontiers School Board.
