I am temporarily filling the position of Post Secondary Education Officer. My office hours are Monday-Tuesday (9am to 5pm) and Wednesday (9am to noon). The phone number for office hours is the same 705-254-2702 extension 227. For the students I relate to, I have offered my cell phone so they can reach me anytime after Wednesday noon if need be.

​

I encourage all continuing students to go on the Missanabie Cree website and under the Education (Members Only) section you will find the 5-pages of forms that need to be filled for the next semester. They can be completed online and submitted online with a DEADLINE of May 15th, 2020.

​

The same applies to all new students applying for educational funding assistance. There is another document called “Missanabie Cree First Nation Post Secondary Funding Information”.

​

Please read this thoroughly to gain a clear understanding of:

• Eligibility for Assistance

• Application and Approval Process

• Continuing Students

• New Applicants

• Approval Criteria

• Student Priority Categories

• Dates of Application Deadlines

• Assistance Limits

• Educational Assistance – Living Allowance  * FULL TIME STUDENTS ONLY

• Books and Supplies

Introductory letters have gone out to students and I have worked on creating some simple forms for my office use.

​

I will still be working on Cultural Facilitation part time, where in conjunction with the Family Services Team, I will present workshops online. I have designed a 6-week program to start out. Each workshop can be up to one hour and will include visuals and music in some.

​

In conclusion, my new title is Post Secondary Education Officer/Cultural Facilitator.

In closing I want to share with you a quote:
