Constance Lake First Nation is mobilizing to begin constructing our new school.  The holistic education centre, which consists of a daycare centre, elementary, secondary and technical components has begun construction!  

Our new education centre will take twelve (12) months to construct.  The occupation date for the school is scheduled for September 2004.  

For more information regarding the new holistic education centre, check out the Constance Lake Education authority website or contact the Constance Lake Education Authority office.
