At their meeting this past Tuesday the Flin Flon School Division Board of Trustees reported the year has got off to a positive start with plenty of fresh faces from new staff to students who had difficulty attending school in other communities.  In her report Superintendent Tammy Ballantyne mentioned all Division Schools will be closed this Friday for National Truth and Reconciliation Day.

On Monday the Division will be fortunate to welcome performer Chubby Cree to our community who will be visiting all four schools.  The young man is a traditional singer and hand drummer from Edmonton who has been performing alongside his Grandmother for the past nine years and he is only eleven.  Noah Simon is his given name and he gained international attention in 2019 when he sang moments before Greta Thunberg took the stage at a climate strike in Edmonton.  That day he wowed thousands as his powerful voice rang out.  Chubby Cree has close to a million followers across multiple platforms on social media.
