Elsie Fabian Wins A4LE Design Award!
Elsie Fabian High School Wins the 2024 Best New School In Alberta! Workun Garrick were proud to receive the award on April 18th as part of the 2024 A4LE Conference held in Canmore Alberta. We are very thankful to have worked with all the amazing people involved from Indigenous Services Canada - ISC, Design Committee members, School Board Administrators, Teachers, Students, Nation leaders, Elders, Nation Stakeholders, Consultants, Contractor and Fort McKay First Nation community members to create this special school! The school’s value to the community is significant. The facility brings students “home” (from nearby Fort McMurray school facilities) to receive their education in Fort McKay using Traditional methods. The building brings a sense of “renewal” to the Nation, and has reinforced community values. The Nation sees this facility as an inspiring sign of increased Community growth, health and prosperity, and sees this a catalyst to return the Nation’s youth back to its core community and educational values.
