The Instructional Resource Centre (IRC) provides curriculum-appropriate materials to all First Nations schools in Manitoba. As a lending library, teachers and staff can borrow our items. If you are struggling to find a resource or can’t purchase one, put in a request to IRC, and we will do our best to find the resource or work with you to find an appropriate alternative. Our library supports MFNSS and MFNERC schools with lengthy lending privileges.

We have recently ordered some new novels and created classroom kits with the following titles:

All the Way: My Life on Ice – Jordin Tootoo

Deadly Loyalties – Jen Storm

Fatty Legs – Christy Jordan-Fenton

The Curse of the Shaman – Michael Kusugak

Hatchet – Gary Paulsen

Woods Runner – Gary Paulsen

When We Were Alone – David Robertson

Surviving the City – Tasha Spillett

Ghosts – David Robertson

Stolen Words – Melanie Florence

Newly acquired resources include handouts, activities, and lesson plans for Hands-on Science, Grades 1 to 6 and Hands-on Social Studies, Grades 1 to 4. We have placed orders for history textbooks for Grades 7 and 8, so look for those to arrive soon at the Instructional Resource Centre.
