My name is Leda Corrigal from Beauval, Saskatchewan. I have worked with Northern Lights School Division 113 since fall of 1995. I presently work as a First Nations, Metis & Inuit Education Consultant. I work with three different language groups and promote Cree, Dene and Michif programs. I graduated from Masters Program with the University of Regina in Curriculum and Instruction in 2011.

Some other experience related to my work; I have taught two Cree language classes with the Northern Teacher Education Program. I have worked with the Gift of Language Partnership as a Curriculum Resource Developer for five years. I am fluent in Cree language in 3 dialects and northern Michif. I have participated in in the development of several locally developed programs.I was a participant in various groups with the implementation of language programs in schools. I assisted with the initial proposal for the Cree Teacher Education Program (CTEP) being offered in Cumberland House.

I am genuinely interested with promotional and revitalization initiatives with indigenous languages. I have facilitated workshops to promote indigenous languages through second language teaching strategies.I work with Elders and maintain a liaison to complement the Elders’ programs within eachschool. I will continue to assist with the maintenance and revitalization of First Nations and Métis languages and culture within the schools and to establish community awareness.
