October 21, 2025 — Red Sucker Lake First Nation, Treaty 5 Territory, Manitoba — Indigenous Services Canada
Indigenous Services Canada is working in partnership with First Nations to help establish educational facilities that will deliver quality and culturally appropriate programs and services for students.
Today, Red Sucker Lake First Nation celebrated the grand opening of its new Grade 7 to 12 school—a milestone that marks a significant change for the community, which previously operated a single Kindergarten to Grade 12 facility. The original school has now been thoughtfully renovated to serve Kindergarten to Grade 6 students, creating dedicated spaces tailored to each age group.
Both schools will provide approximately 367 students with vibrant and nurturing learning environments that reflect the values and traditions of Red Sucker Lake First Nation, while building a foundation for students’ health, wellness, and lifelong success.
Indigenous Services Canada invested $89 million in this school project, which included construction of the new school and surrounding infrastructure such as roads, water and sewer mains, the renovation of the existing school, and 11 new facilities to house teachers.
