Check out this video of the opening of the Mikinaak Onigaming School Time Capsule. Hidden when the school was renovated 25 years ago, the time capsule was scheduled to be opened this year at the Christmas dinner. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, some changes in the plan had to be made, but that didn't stop the excitement!

On March 4, 2021 the school held its Annual Ice Fishing Day. 75 people came out to Lost Lake to enjoy the gorgeous weather, time spent together, ice fishing, hot dogs and sliding. It was a great day for students, parents and staff!
The school would like to thank all the people who worked so hard to make this day a success, especially Anita Shebagegit who organized the event and did so much to ensure its success. Miigwetch to all the families that came out share in this fun and awesome day.
On behalf of the students and staff of Mikinaak Onigaming School, I would like to express our thanks to Lindsey for the gift of fifteen guitars. Linsey has consistently supported the school through his program by bringing a variety of musical equipment to the students. Music is truly a vital element in the overall health and development of all students. Chi-miigwetch, Lindsey!
