ABE's  Orange Shirt Day​ - Wednesday, October 1st​

While September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, ABE's is encouraging all ABE students to wear an ORANGE SHIRT on Wednesday, October 1st to show support for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.​

In remembrance of the children and survivors of the residential schools, CBE understands the importance of this journey toward healing, understanding and unity, not just as a public school district but as educators, staff and community members. Our system continues to learn, grow, understand, and honour Indigenous ways of being, belonging, doing and knowing.

Throughout the school year, our schools have weaved and enhanced learning through Indigenous ways of being, belonging, doing, and knowing into the Alberta curriculum. This is achieved through Indigenous pedagogical practices such as land-based learning, exploring texts by Indigenous authors, and delving into language and history. Schools are also promoting self-connection among students by fostering intercultural understanding and creating a sense of belonging for Indigenous students.
