Feds will help First Nations schools guard against COVID-19: Marc Miller

Deputy Grand Chief Derek Fox said the organization has asked for $33 million to pay for personal protective equipment and sanitization supplies, but was told its plans are too “far-reaching.”And he warned this could mean delaying the start of the school year in its 49 member First Nation communities – many remote and without the reliable internet infrastructure needed for online learning.

Miller says he understands this is a major concern for all Indigenous educators and parents, including for those whose children attend schools away from reserves. He says the government has the financial resources to help facilitate a safe return to school for First Nations children and teachers.
