MAA Student Leaders Embark on an Unforgettable Mount Carleton Adventure

by | Added Oct 17, 2025

Seventeen 8th grade leadership students from Max Aitken Academy recently spent an incredible three days at New Brunswick’s beautiful Mount Carleton Provincial Park. Students set up camp, canoed, hiked, and worked together while demonstrating outstanding teamwork, thoughtfulness, and leadership throughout the experience.

This special outdoor learning opportunity allowed students to be fully present with nature while reflecting on the importance of connection to the land. During the trip, students took time to acknowledge Indigenous perspectives as they observed both Truth and Reconciliation Day and Treaty Day over their stay at the park.

We are extremely proud of the collaboration, respect, and sense of community shown by these young leaders. A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped make this memorable trip possible, including NB Parks, ASD-N and MAA.

Wela’lin!

Honouring Culture & Building Community at Eleanor W. Graham Middle School

by | Added Oct 1, 2025

In August, the staff of Eleanor W. Graham Middle School came together for a powerful cultural proficiency and team-building day. With the support of the First Nation Education Team, an Elder/Knowledge Keeper guided the learning and sharing.

The staff rolled up their sleeves and with the help of Liam Watson from Red Bank First Nation, raised a beautiful tipi on school grounds. The morning was filled with teamwork, laughter, fun, and deep respect for Indigenous teachings.

Once the tipi was standing tall, Liam led the group in a traditional smudge and drumming ceremony to bless the space — a moment of reflection, unity, and cultural connection.

Wela’lioq, thank you to the staff for embracing this experience with open hearts and minds. Together, we continue walking the path of truth, respect, and reconciliation.

by | Added Sep 29, 2025

On Tuesday, September 30, schools across the district will be closed to observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This day is an opportunity to reflect on the history and legacy of residential schools, to honour Survivors, their families, and communities, and to deepen our understanding of the ongoing journey toward reconciliation.

We encourage everyone who is able to take time to learn, reflect, or attend a local event or ceremony in recognition of this important day.

First Nations people across Turtle Island have had a sacred treaty with the earth since time immemorial. The Mi’kmaw have honoured the Peace and Friendship Treaties made and reaffirmed with the British since 1725. Elder-in-Residence Jeannie Bartibogue challenges us all to learn about our responsibilities as treaty people and to be a part of #ReconciliACTION.
