Job Opening at Cadotte Lake School

Our Connected North partners and friends at Cadotte Lake School have asked for help promoting vacant teaching positions in the community.

More information about the job opening can be found here: https://www.woodlandcree.net/job-postings

Connected North delivers live, virtual field trips for K-12 classrooms located in northern, remote, Indigenous communities.   As you may be aware, there has been a growing teacher shortage, especially since the pandemic.  Our current program offerings are on hold until the school has capacity, so Connected North is doing everything possible to help promote this role.
