Aujourd’hui, le gouvernement des Territoires du Nord‑Ouest (GTNO) a officiellement déposé un avis d’appel devant la Cour d’appel des Territoires du Nord-Ouest concernant la récente décision rendue dans l’affaire A.B., Commission scolaire francophone des Territoires du Nord-Ouest c. la ministre de l’Éducation, de la Culture et de la Formation.

Par le truchement d’échanges avec le public organisés dans l’ensemble du territoire, le gouvernement des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (GTNO) sollicite des commentaires sur les mesures à intégrer à la nouvelle stratégie sur les arts des Territoires du Nord-Ouest (TNO).

Les échanges en ligne avec le public ont été lancés le 21 juin et se poursuivront, parallèlement aux réunions communautaires, jusqu’au 9 août 2019.

Mr. Speaker, a high-quality education system is one that ensures that student wellness and the development of a positive sense of identity are promoted and embedded in school experiences, programming and environment. 

Mr. Speaker, these are exciting times in post-secondary education in the Northwest Territories. 

This Government is meeting its commitment to expand opportunities for post-secondary education, trades-oriented learning and northern educational institutions while fostering the knowledge economy. This work is essential to ensuring that northerners have access to quality post-secondary programs and supports.

Mr. Speaker, Income Security programs are a vital part of the social safety network that helps Northwest Territories residents by bridging gaps in their ability to support themselves and to pursue their personal, educational and career goals. 

Mr. Speaker, the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre has acted as the territory’s museum for the past 40 years. The institution cares for a large collection of objects representing the peoples, cultures, history and land of the Northwest Territories on behalf of all the people who live here. 

Le Centre du patrimoine septentrional Prince-de-Galles (CPSPG) s’est vu récompensé la semaine dernière lorsqu’il a reçu le Prix d’excellence de l’Association des musées canadiens (AMC) dans la catégorie « Expositions ».

Mr. Speaker, Income Security programs are a vital piece of the societal safety network that together help address the needs of NWT residents.    

Those who access programs within this complex network are often at a point of vulnerability in their lives. It is good government practice to continually review and evaluate programs, especially social ones, to ensure that those in need are being provided appropriate supports and services.

Mr. Speaker, programs focused on both teacher and student wellness are foundational to Education Renewal. Mental wellness is essential for everyone involved in teaching and learning, and we have acted to address this need.

La ministre de l’Éducation, de la Culture et de la Formation Caroline Cochrane invite tous les Ténois à répondre à l’important sondage sur la vision de l’éducation postsecondaire qui vient d’être publié aujourd’hui.
