I would like to table a document entitled Empowering Our Children’s Futures: The First 10 Years of Aboriginal Head Start in Yellowknife and N’dilo.

The Yellowknife and N’dilo Aboriginal Head Start program has become a model for the rest of Canada and is celebrating their ten-year anniversary. The Empowering Our Children’s Futures report includes results collected from monitoring the program quality, school readiness, social skills and parental feedback. Aboriginal Head Start is an early-intervention program for aboriginal children and their families that includes programming in culture, language, school readiness, health, promotion of nutrition, parental involvement and social support.
