Exciting news from the Wolastoqey langauge community!

The Kekhimin immersion school initiative is helping bring the Wolastoqey langauge back into classrooms with the launch of the new langauge learning books created by community educators.

These materials are designed to support young learners as they build confidence speaking, reading and connecting with their langauge.

Lisa Perley-Dutcher founder and director of the school notes “We’ve worked hard to pull these resources together not only for ourselves and for meeting our objectives, but for other schools, our Indigenous schools that are trying to teach the language but don’t have the resources."

We're honored to support this work and celebrate the growing momentum behind the Wolastoqey langauge revitalization.
