New provincial funding will work to expand post-secondary learning and preserve First Nations languages.
The new $23.4 million will support First Nations mandated institutes and traditional language fluency degrees.
Being dispersed over the next three years, it’s part of a bigger $101 million plan to shift education and training from government to Indigenous led.
The province hopes to build on the milestone of the first graduates to earn the Nsyilxcen language fluency degree this June.
Meanwhile, two new language degree programs have been approved and three more are in the works.
