Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN) invites CAFN Citizens, students and families to share your thoughts and ideas on the future of education by answering the following questions. The CAFN Council, through its Education Standing Committee, is developing a 3-5 year plan to help focus our efforts on education and we want to hear from you.



CAFN currently offers a range of programs and supports to students from toddlers to adults and Elders. At this time, the Yukon government carries overall responsibility to deliver K4 to grade 12 education for our students in Yukon public schools, and CAFN offers individual and family supports for students. For more details on our current programs and supports, you can visit CAFN.ca/education.



Thank you for taking time to completing this survey! If you choose to include your name, you will be entered in a draw for a range of prizes valued from $100 to $350.
