Food at School

Due to a variety of reasons, we are unable to accept food that is sent to share with students at school. Most importantly, we have a number of students with various allergies. Thank you for your support in not sending food to school to share.

Volunteers at Dr. E.W. Coffin

We continue to be so thankful to all of the volunteers who generously give their time to our school. This week, we had a fun lunch and our famous Pumpkin Hunt. Both events could not have happened without our amazing volunteers. Thank you!

CBE – Renewal of Land Acknowledgement

As part of our collective commitment to reconciliation, the CBE recently renewed its Land Acknowledgement. The updated Land Acknowledgement can be read below:

Oki, Dādánast’áda, Âba Wathtec, Tânisi, Taanishi, Bonjour, Hello

The Calgary Board of Education acknowledges the traditional territories and oral practices of the Treaty 7 Nations, including the Siksikaitsitapi, comprised of the Siksika, the Kainai, the Piikani, and the Amskapi Piikani Nations. We acknowledge the Tsuut’ina Nation, the Îyârhe Nakoda, comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney Nations, the Métis Nation within Alberta, and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of southern Alberta.

This land on which we gather is traditionally known as Moh'kinstsis (Blackfoot), Guts’ists’i (Tsuut’ina), Wîchîspa (Nakoda), and otôskwanihk (Northern Michif & Cree).

As a learning organization, we are committed to advancing the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action focused on Education for ReconciliACTION.
