Métis Week  

Louis Riel Day is celebrated annually on November 16 to acknowledge the anniversary of Riel’s execution in 1885. Riel, a leader of the Métis people, led the Northwest Resistance against the Canadian government’s encroachment on Métis rights and lifestyle. The Métis were defeated at the siege of Batoche, which lead to Riel’s capture, trial for treason, and execution. After Riel’s execution, many Métis were labeled as traitors, causing subsequent generations to hide their culture and heritage. Despite this oppression, many Métis have successfully preserved their way of life and passed it on to future generations, while others are beginning to reclaim their Métis identity, heritage, and cultural traditions and connections. 

Throughout Métis Week, our students will learn about Métis culture, traditions, artwork, foods, history, and the ways that the Métis community continues to influence and enrich our current society.  

Bullying Prevention Week  

During the week of November 18-22, the Calgary Board of Education recognizes National Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week. During this week, and throughout the school year, CBE staff and students collaborate to learn about, promote, and implement bullying prevention strategies in an effort to maintain school spaces that are safe, inclusive and where students feel as though they belong. Together, staff, students, parents, caregivers and the community all have a role to play in ensuring our schools are safe.
