Federal Government Provides More Details on First Nation School Funding

The federal government has announced more details of a 175 million dollar First Nation Education plan.

The Federal Government is providing millions of dollars in funding to fix up schools in communities in Ontario and Manitoba.

Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development John Duncan says the money will be invested in the construction and renovation projects.

Duncan says part of the 175 million will go to begin work on schools in Fort Severn and Pikangikum, projects that were announced this summer.
