The Office of the Treaty Commissioner congratulates the Holy Trinity Catholic School in Warman for their installation of a Treaty medal.

The celebration, held as a combination online and in-person event, included performances from students – kindergarten kids recited a Treaty poem, Grade 5/6 students presented on the TRC Calls to Action and there were Tipi Teachings by Grade 4 students, among other thoughtful presentations, and the blessing of the medal.

Treaty Commissioner of Saskatchewan Mary Culbertson joined remotely, and spoke about a lack of Treaty knowledge in schools when she was growing up, and how happy she is to see that change that is happening.

“Having a medal to look at as a symbol of a relationship that was a framework for building Canada is a very significant step in being good Treaty partners,” she said.

You are enriched through your school environment and you can take that home and teach your families about the Treaty relationship, she said.
