These future leaders are advocating for change to address issues they see affecting Indigenous people
For Andrea Brazeau, a recent McGill Faculty of Education graduate who is now teaching elementary school in her home community of Kangiqsualujjuaq in Nunavik, Quebec's failure to recognize the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation as a statutory holiday is disappointing.

MONTREAL -- A very specific milestone passed recently, unnoticed except by those who happened to read a tweet by John Robert Sylliboy on Tuesday.
“I have goosebumps,” he wrote.
On this day of Truth and Reconciliation, we reflect on the tragedies that occurred at the residential schools and we are reminded that every child matters. As the Dean of the Faculty of Education, I am averse to calling those institutions “schools”. Schools are a place to advance learning, to open one’s mind to new ideas and diverse opinions; to mentor and collaborate with each child so they become the best they can be throughout their lives. Schools are where we better ourselves through insightful human relations, collaborations and nurturing mentorships.
The We Will Walk Together / Skàtne Entewathahìta event began at McGill’s Faculty of Education in 2019, in honour of Orange Shirt Day. The initiative was driven by a small enthusiastic committee that organized a march at Mount Royal to raise awareness and express sentiments of unity and inclusion between Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous allies.
In July 2021, Tino Bordonaro (MA ’93), a Course Lecturer in the Department of Integrated Education (DISE), was appointed as the Chairperson of the Advisory Board for English Education (ABEE) at the Ministre de l'Éducation du Québec (MEQ).
The mandate of the Advisory Board on English Education (ABEE) is to advise the Minister of Education on all matters affecting the educational services offered in English elementary and secondary schools and adult and vocational education centres. The Minister may also ask ABEE for advice on a specific issue.

Andréanne Langevin (DISE, MA SLE) was interviewed by Global News TV regarding her study of parents' opinions on Quebec's school language(s) of instruction and school choice.
The study involved a series of focus groups with 44 parents from across the province. The segment highlighted parents' opinions on the quality of second language education in the province and their desire for bilingualism for their children.
These findings are timely due to Bill 96, a proposed language policy bill that would extend restrictions on school language choice to CEGEPs.
On July 15, the federal government announced the newest cohort of Vanier Canada Graduate Scholars. Of the 26 McGill Vanier recipients, two are Indigenous scholars, Jeremy Desjarlais and Michelle Smith.
