Students were invited to participate in a variety of opportunities to learn about local First Nations culture through active participation. The event was planned cooperatively by a team consisting of Aboriginal Student Support Workers from Clinton, Cache Creek, and Ashcroft along with representatives from the Bonaparte First Nations. We were pleased to welcome staff, students and community members from June 2010 Rosie Seymour Elementary School in Canoe Creek. Students enjoyed learning to dance, drum, make sage bundles, play lacrosse, and listening to stories. Everyone went home with a smile on their face. It was a great Featuring: day. • CELEBRATING OUR SUCCESS • FULL DAY KIN- DERGARTEN • LEARNER SUPPORT District Reports Page 7 of 266 Education Highlights SCHOOL DISTRICT #74 Full Day Kindergarten Kindergarten teachers are excited about providing a structured, play-based kindergarten program next year. The program will focus on ensuring opportunities to develop a strong oral language foundation for every student, which in turn will support students’ early and emerging literacy and numeracy knowledge. Re- sources have and are being provided to sup- port kindergarten teachers in adjusting their programs to fulfill the Ministry’s vision of full day, structured, play-based kindergarten. Success for Each Student Students with learning disabilities can be successful in school with accommodations. Teachers and teaching assistants have a growing number of strategies and resources to ensure that each student has what they need to be successful. The Accessible Resource Centre—British Columbia (ARC-BC) allows staff to download books onto a computer and then the computer will read it aloud to the student. What a great support for students who struggle with reading! With supports such as this, students will be able to access the curriculum and be successful in their school program.

Update: • Our goal next year is to continue a similar structure of teachers co- teaching with Leyton. Next year we will allow more teachers to access the lesson study process. • Our professional learning days with Leyton will be structured as follows: • Part one: discuss the intentions of the upcoming lesson/observe the lesson/debrief together. • Part two: continue development of understanding of backwards design and co-plan with another teacher. Successes: • The desire for teachers to collaborate to incorporate backwards design in math and science. Update: • An all-day meeting for kindergarten teachers and elementary Elementary Literacy principals was held on May 11, 2010.

  • Nlaka'pamux Nation Tribal Council
    Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council - Province of British Columbia Political Accord on Advancing Recognition, Reconciliation, and Implementation of Title and Rights 1. The Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) is a governing entity of the Nlaka’pamux peoples. The NNTC is committed to protecting, asserting and exercising Nlaka’pamux Title and Rights to bring about the self-sufficiency and well-being of the Nlaka’pamux people. The NNTC member communities are Boothroyd, Lytton, Boston Bar, Oregon Jack Creek, Skuppah, and Spuzzum. 2. The Province and the NNTC have entered into a number of agreements regarding the use of Nlaka’pamux territory that have been a foundation for collaborative relations. The agreements include: Interim Forestry Appendix/Agreement (2016) Economic and Community Development Agreement (ECDA) dealing with shared decision-making and revenue sharing in relation to the ongoing operations of the Highland Valley Copper Mine (2013) Land and Resource Shared Decision Making Pilot Agreement (2014, as amended) These agreements, and the relations they foster, have helped the Province and NNTC move through challenging conflicts, and establish a foundation for moving forward together on important decisions and actions. 3. The Land and Resource Shared Decision Making (SDM) Pilot Agreement established a foundational shared decision making model, and a joint Board structure. The SDM Board established a new way of co-operating between the Nlaka’pamux Nation and the Province. The Board structure and collaborative process moves away from individual and isolated assessments of potential impacts of any proposed project on Nlaka’pamux Title and Rights, to a shared and transparent process where there is equal accountability.

  • Appendix B.8 – Siska Indian Band
    Appendix B.8 – Siska Indian Band I - Background Information Siska Indian Band (Siska) is part of the Nlaka’pamux Nation (pronounced “Ing-khla-kap-muh”), whose asserted traditional territory encompasses part of south central British Columbia (BC) from the northern United States to north of Kamloops. The Project pipeline right of way (RoW) crosses Nlaka’pamux’s asserted traditional territory. Siska has 11 reserves: Siska Flat No. 3, Siska Flat No. 5A, Siska Flat No. 5B, Siska Flat No. 8, Humhampt No. 6, Humhampt No. 6A, Kupchynalth No. 1, Kupchynalth No. 2, Moosh No. 4, Nahamanak No. 7, and Zaht No. 5.
