Message from the President on hate-motivated attack of Métis student

Posted on: Sep 27, 2023

Message from the President:

“Reports of a hate-motivated attack on a Métis student in Cochrane are not only deeply concerning, they are unacceptable. We will continue to monitor the situation as the RCMP investigates the incident. All students deserve to be safe at school and this incident serves as a stark reminder of the enduring racism our Métis community grapples with, even today. My thoughts are with the family and child at this time.”

– Sincerely, Madame President Andrea Sandmaier
