Winnipeg school to make history with Ojibwa, Cree bilingual classes

History will be made as the bell rings welcoming students into Ojibwa and Cree bilingual classes in Winnipeg next week.

The new language program run out of Isaac Brock School in the West End will have kindergarten students taught entirely in either Cree or Ojibwa.

"I think it's been a dream for a lot of people for a long time now to have heritage languages spoken at the school," said Rob Riel, Winnipeg School Division's director of Aboriginal Education and Newcomer Services.
