The largest conference of the year is our Provincial Conference on Aboriginal

Workshops
Anti-Racism Workshops
Working with the BC Aboriginal Education Partners, Diversity Consultant Eric
Wong, and the Anti-Racism Leadership Network, FNESC provides a variety of anti-racism
workshops and services. All of this work is intended to make BC schools racism-free
and places where diversity is respected, with an emphasis on countering racism
experienced by Aboriginal people in the education system.
Visit our anti-racism page for information about workshops, anti-racism toolkit
and local anti-racism contact people.

Regional Sessions
A core component of FNESC's activities are the Regional Sessions that are
conducted annually throughout the province. These Regional Sessions provide
direction
for the ongoing efforts of FNESC and provide invaluable feedback on current
and planned initiatives. They also allow FNESC to remain responsive and accountable
to
First Nations communities.
