Hello Everyone
Sadly - INAC has taken another step in an apparent attempt to fetter this important case from being heard on its merits. It has applied for a judicial review of the CHRC decision to refer the matter to tribunal - here are some of the details.
Judicial Review Application T-1753-08 from Justice, on behalf of INAC.
The Application has two arguments:
NNEC's Bachelor of Education program is now accepting applications for the September 2009 intake.
If you have ever considered a culturally appropriate, land-based degree program, do come and visit us.
The deadline for the September, 2009 intake is May 15, 2009.
