Métis–Nation Saskatchewan provides funds to support early education and learning
Métis–Nation Saskatchewan (MNS) is hoping to enhance early learning and education programs for Métis Children in the province.
The organization is committing $3.5 million to support early education in Métis communities.
The Early Learning and Child Care Community Enhancement program announced on Thursday will provide up to $50,000 to Métis communities to help enhance or develop early learning programs and services.
The goal is to give Métis children better access to high-quality learning to help them and their families into the future. Something, MNS Minister of Early Learning and Child Care Tim Roussin is looking forward to.
"Our graduation rates aren't great and this programming, we are really hoping will give them that sense of value that will get them through those middle years and into post-secondary," Roussin said at a press conference Thursday morning.
