The Manitoba Government has proclaimed May 18-22 as Treaty Week. Recognizing and learning about Treaties is essential in building inclusive and equitable environments for every student and family. It's work that supports our efforts towards making our communities better places by committing to the principles of Truth and Reconciliation.

One of our senior years students gets hands-on with a brain as part of our divisions partnership with St. Boniface Hospital to provide internships for Indigenous students. Some of the key features of the internship include, students receiving hands‐on experience in various medical disciplines; a mentor being paired with each student to support them throughout; and an opportunity to network with healthcare professionals.

Join us next week for the 2026 Divisional Powwow on Wednesday, May 20 at Collège Miles Macdonell Collegiate, 757 Roch St. All Indigenous youth graduating from RETSD are invited to join in Grand Entry. See the screen-reader-friendly PDF for more, visit https://bit.ly/4dr6PH9
