The mood is one of anticipation, hope, and a little competition sprinkled on top. Administrators from schools in all nine Eeyou Istchee communities along with representatives from Education Services, Frontier College, Elephant Thoughts and Mikw Chiyam strutted their stuff for potential teachers during the third annual CSB Recruitment Event at the Delta Hotel in Montreal.

It's the frost on the trees, the sparkle in the skies, the opportunity to live close to nature, and the feeling of community that draws many southerners to the north. And the Cree School Board is hoping those expansive sunrises and sunsets will help encourage even more people to consider living in Eeyou Eenou Istchee when it hosts its Recruitment Event in Montreal.

Sabtuan Adult Education Services in partnership with Cree Human Resources Development (CHRD) launched the first phase of its Adult Learning Needs Assessment February 6, 2019. The goal is to survey as many community members and businesses of Eeyou Eenou Istchee as possible to better understand their needs in terms of adult education, training and employment.
