Mamawmatawa Holistic Education Centre: An Indigenous-Led Model for Education Infrastructure Development
This spotlight examines Mamawmatawa Holistic Education Centre (MHEC) in Constance Lake First Nation, which comprises elementary and secondary schools and a daycare centre, collectively serving learners from junior kindergarten to Grade 12.
In what ways has MHEC improved the educational experience for children living in Constance Lake? How has local and Indigenous governance allowed the school to grow, respond to local needs, and support its community? What are the challenges involved in operating and maintaining a large public building in a remote Northern setting?
