Throughout this engaging event, we are honoured to host a distinguished lineup of speakers, including Chief Cadmus Delorme, Dr. Leyton Schnellert, Jordan Tinney, and Dr. Ken Coates. Their expertise and insights will offer invaluable perspectives on fostering leadership and building robust relationships within the unique landscape of rural education. The Symposium's highlights include an evening with the Minister and Reception on Sunday evening, providing a platform for in-depth discussions and interactions between the Minister of Education and attendees, focusing on the most pressing issues facing rural education today. Additionally throughout the event, school presentations will showcase exemplary practices, innovative strategies, and success stories, offering attendees tangible takeaways for implementation in their respective educational settings.
