Roughly 1,500 students at federally-run schools on First Nations communities in Ontario are out of class as public servants continue to strike.
That includes 350 who attend Quinte Mohawk School east of Belleville, Ont., according to Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), and five schools on Six Nations of the Grand River in southern Ontario.
In an email to CBC, department spokesperson Zarah Malik said officials are working with First Nations leadership and families to “ensure students are provided with opportunities, including through homework packages, to continue their learning during the labour disruption.”
The department will continue to update chiefs and councils about the strike, Malik added.
