THUNDER BAY — The Year Three Report Card on the Implementation of the Recommendations from the First Nations Youth Inquest in Thunder Bay featured an overall grade of A-, up from B+ in Year Two and C+ in Year One.

Northern Nishnawbe Education Council and Dennis Franklin Cromarty High School and Keewaytinook Okimakanak received A+s while the City of Thunder Bay received an A. Nishnawbe Aski Nation and Matawa Learning Centre received A-s and Canada and Ontario received B+s.

“It’s not so much about the score, it’s to underscore that work is still continuing and this isn’t the end stop, but we’re continuing to make progress and continuing working hard with our partners,” says Regina Mandamin, manager of Indigenous Relations and Inclusion with the City of Thunder Bay and a Wiikwemkoong citizen. “Overall, it is a good reminder that work is continuing to be done and we are continuing to be accountable not just to the public but also to the families of the youth.”
