Why Vote Yes?
What is the vote for?
We must vote yes and approve these two documents in order for us to reclaim control of our preschool to Grade 12 community education:
1. Process for how our Education Law will be developed and approved (Education Law-Making Protocol)
2. An education agreement with Canada (Jurisdiction Agreement)
Once our Nation has voted yes, we can start developing our own education system and law—one that is uniquely Sḵwx̱wú7mesh.
