The Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre (MFNERC) established a First Nations Early Learning Working Group (FNELWG) in 2010. The working group was comprised of First Nations representatives and representatives from various provincial and federal government departments. The FNELWG has evolved since 2010, and MFNERC would like to focus on First Nations representatives to better reflect language and culture as a priority in First Nations early learning programs.

We are seeking two representatives (male and female) from each of the five language groups from MFNERC/MFNSS member schools. Only those from member schools will be eligible.
You are invited to submit one name to act as a representative for the FNELWG. The group meets three times a year to discuss areas related to early learning. The FNELWG will establish new Terms of Reference at the first scheduled meeting to guide the work of the FNELWG. The FNELWG will advise and guide early learning projects and review project development and/or resources for the early learning team.
If you require any further information or have questions regarding this invitation, please contact Susy Komishin at 204-595-1290 ext. 2131 or by email at susyk@mfnerc.com.

We recently held the first Youth Land-based Numeracy Fair, hosted by the MFNERC Numeracy Team and supported by Language and Culture facilitators, at St Vital Park in Winnipeg. The land-based activities aimed to provide a culturally responsive education, connect to numeracy concepts, and develop math skills in a fun learning environment. Over 50 students from a number of First Nations schools took part in some land-based learning as well as lessons relating to language, numeracy, science, and much more. Here are just a few photos from that great day of fun and learning.
