  • Welcome to École Wîhkwêntôwin School

    Welcome to École Wîhkwêntôwin School

    We are so pleased to let you know that our school has a new name: Wîhkwêntôwin School.

    Wîhkwêntôwin is a Cree word that can be translated into English as ‘circle of friends’. Wîhkwêntôwin is pronounced we-kwen-to-win.

    We are excited to share the same name as the community we call home!

    Online and digital updates are underway, and the rollout of new signage and other changes at the school will take place over the next few months.
