Call for Host Schools: Seasonal Land-Based Youth Education Gathering (Summer)
The Manitoba First Nations Education Resource Centre Inc. invites all MFNERC and MFNSS schools to apply to host the Seasonal Land-Based Youth Education Gathering (Summer), formerly known as the Land-Based Youth Games.
MFNERC will provide financial support to one selected host school to coordinate a three-day land-based youth gathering that brings together middle years and senior years students from participating schools. This event will celebrate First Nations culture through land-based activities and games designed to strengthen the skills and teachings rooted in land-based education.
Schools interested in hosting are asked to submit a proposal that includes the following:
- A tentative three-day schedule of land-based activities
- Student and bus driver accommodation plans
- A security plan
- A student safety plan
- A local catering plan
- Evening entertainment activities
Please fax or email the attached proposal form to the attention of Ashley Kinsman, Administrative Assistant, at ashleyk@mfnerc.com or by fax at 204-477-4314 by Friday, April 17, 2026.
Schools are encouraged to select gathering dates toward the end of the school year, during May or June.
