A series of posters produced by the Rainbow District School
Board is providing youth with positive images of Aboriginal
people in a variety of careers.
Youth role models are also being featured to showcase the
contributions of First Nations, Métis and Inuit students in
Rainbow Schools.
"It is important for our Aboriginal youth to be able to imagine
or picture themselves being successful," said Kathy
Dokis-Ranney, principal of First Nations, Métis and Inuit
Education.
"This series of posters is another way in which we are
inspiring success for all students through our First Nations,
Métis and Inuit Education initiatives."
The posters, unveiled at a special celebration in November,
will come to life throughout the school year as the individuals
whose careers are featured meet with youth who may be
interested in a similar career path.
"We selected Aboriginal people representing careers that youth
may be familiar with and careers that they may not have thought
about, such as a millwright or filmmaker," added Dokis-Ranney.
The Aboriginal youth role models on the posters were nominated
by other Aboriginal youth or recommended by school staff as
being positive influences within their schools.
