We recognize our responsibility as Treaty members and honour the heritage and gifts of the First Peoples.

Project of Heart
Project of Heart, 2023/24
Fort Saskatchewan Elementary School is working with Canadian Ojibway artist Ellie Lagrandeur on a school wide painting project. Our goal is to weave the 4 elements of Air/Eagle, Earth/Deer, Water/Beaver, and Fire/Wolf into a work of art that each student and staff member can contribute to; a work of art to tell the story of who we are. This will be a significant step toward continuing to understand our shared histories, our present relationship with land and others, and continue our learning for a better future for everyone who shares these lands.
Every Child Has a Heart
A massive thank you to Dreamcatchers Art & Gallery, for their generosity to FSE! Artist Ellie Lagrandeur created a stunning piece “Every Child Has a Heart”, that was loaned to FSE library and has now been returned.
