Nibinamik students continuing to raise money for Toronto trip

Nibinamik Education Centre looking for support to send students in grades 5 through 8 on a trip to Toronto.

NIBINAMIK FIRST NATION — Staff and students at the Nibinamik Education Centre are hoping to raise money for a trip that's been years in the making.

David Mossman, a Grade 5/6 teacher at Nibinamik Education Centre, said opportunities for the youth are fairly limited in the remote community. “Up here, we find that they see the lack of opportunities and that trickles down to them not attending high school. Some at the end of grade eight stop showing up because they have no motivation or goals,” Mossman said.

Mossman said Toronto is the best fit for their trip because most of the youth have seen smaller cities like Thunder Bay. Although Thunder Bay has its fair share of culture, the scale of a metropolitan area offers a broader experience.
