FIELD TRIP CANCELLED

Hi Everyone, I'm sorry to announce that today we heard from the organizers of the March 5 Indigenous Legal Career Day that due to venue problems they have to postpone the event until the fall. I'm really sorry, especially for any graduating students, that we couldn't take you to this great opportunity. If you have questions about postsecondary pathways and careers, please connect with Mr Valliere.

We will be organizing a group to go in October - anyone who already asked to be on the list - thank you! You're top of the list for the fall when the event is ready for us.

Calling all high school students and their caregivers!!

St Albert Métis Local 1904's Red Willow Program will be hosting Rupertsland for a “Metis Access to post-secondary” information sessions. These sessions are open for all registered Métis members of District 11 in grades 10 to 12 who are considering post-secondary, as well as their parents or caregivers.

We strongly encourage you to attend if you have, or are, a student in grade 10-12. This program offers support to Métis high school students on their journey to post-secondary, focusing on the important transition between high school and post-secondary and the education or training needed to meet a student’s career goals.

We encourage students to bring their own laptop or tablet so they can sign up for the program while they are here. If they attend and sign up, they get entered to win a graphing calculator, or an iPad. This will be provided by Ruperstland and the draw will be made at the end of the session before everyone leaves.

If this hasn't convinced you to attend, then here are some additional benefits:

Benefits for students:

Access and support to apply for funding resources, application support, scholarship information and more.

Access to career related materials and assessments.

Information about career fairs and post-secondary tours.

Building cultural and community connections to support long term academic success.

Knowledge on Rupertsland Institute workshops and events.

We really want to see you there!

Lunch will be served.

#200 – 15 Rowland Crescent, St Albert.
