The Fort McMurray Public School Division (FMPSD) has created a council of six Cree, Dene and Métis elders to offer guidance on efforts towards reconciliation. They will also act as advisors on Indigenous education, history, culture and language programs hosted by FMPSD.

The council’s Elders come from Mikisew Cree First Nation, Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, Fort McMurray First Nation 468 and McMurray Métis.
